I do have a hard life but I don't necessarily see myself as a victim honestly speaking. I only said what I said earlier because peeps are acting as if only women have it hard in society. My circumstances aren't entirely due to patriarchy IMO. I am not married. I am only taking responsibility for my mom, my brother, and his family—well, they're my family too. I have the obligation to support them regardless of how hard it gets as far as I am concerned. It's not like they don't share responsibilities, I just happened to have the most responsibilities because I act like the head of the family. I said "act like" because my mom's the boss of the home, period.
Depending on how you describe it, I've got nothing against patriarchy in all honesty. If you associate it with dominance and women's oppression, then I don't agree with it. We were raised by a single mother who lost her husband in her 30s. She's not educated—she was forced to quit school to look after her younger siblings when their parents were working.
She never remarried and raised us all by herself, so not supporting women's empowerment and equal treatment is the last thing I'd want to do. It's because we were raised under such circumstances that I understand how important it is for a family to have a father as their head. If it's about having the father as the leader, not the owner, of the family, then I don't think patriarchy is as bad as people make it out to be.

Nat and I always fight actually, just not in public. We're like siblings from different mothers.
