Witches vs Patriarchy

r/WitchesVsPatriarchy is a nonbinary-centered sub with a witchy twist, aimed at healing, supporting, and uplifting one another through humor and magic.
The goal is to at once embrace, and poke fun at, the mystical aspects of androgyny that have been previously demonized and/or devalued by the Patriarchy.

This is such a hilarious take to me, because I see incel idiots describing women (and especially liberated women) as fatherless all the time, but my father was an amazing role model who had a very active presence in my life, well until I was an adult and living on my own, and he finally died of the hereditary blood disorder that'll probably kill me, too.
And the thing is, I'm middle-aged, and have my own husband and family now, and I know my father would be proud of me. And he was a Catholic Republican! If he was alive, we would have lots to disagree on, sure, but we would respect each other while we did so.
That's why I always laugh when I see this crap about how women who dye their hair or own a cat or believe in women having rights is a result of a lack of love from a male father figure. Because the truth is, every time I see it, I think;
"Now, this is the hot take of a man who is repeating the advice of his only father figure- some overpaid, no-chin chucklefuck he found on YouTube."
