patriarchy both elevates and victimizes men, just like how racism both elevates and victimizes whites

    Absolutely, which is why this post makes even less sense.

    you mean why the post makes so much sense ... it's literally pointing out the paradoxical situation of patriarchy - that it victimizes the same class it simultaneously elevates to create the hierarchy in the first place, which is crazy

    But again, the class of men who invented this game and keeps reinventing is not the class currently failing. So why equate them.

    who said we are? feminism doesn't equate all men as equally privileged nor equally guilty, that's just a myth - feminism to the contrary is pointing out the way patriarchy victimizes men and women, and the way a minority of men perpetuate the violence and system of patriarchy.

    I am not saying you are. This meme is. And I most definitely agree with your definition of feminism.

    It's just that this meme strikes me as having an undertone of "look at these stupid men, they can't even rig the game right". Which isn't a popular opinion in real feminist circles (as far as I can tell) but a popular one in certain extremely online versions of feminism.
