"Patriarchy" is a funny way to say "Capitalism" so the concept can survive and that is just needs more women to be in positions of power to exploit it.

Sorry but that's a bad and extremely reductive take. There is absolutely a unique factor of oppression towards non-cis-men that

a) evolved historically
b) reproduces itself in our current economic system, but
c) isn't guaranteed to dissolve and could be perpetuated in a post-capitalist economic system and
d) could be eased even under capitalism and materially benefit those affected

Ignoring this factor of oppression results in a reductive analysis of the kind of "let's overthrow capitalism and everything will be great"

Yes - the liberation of women, trans people of all genders, non-binary people etc. necessitates an end of capitalist structures - but that alone won't solve the problem. So saying "patriarchy = capitalism" is reductive.

And of course men suffer from patriarchal structures too - but it's qualitatively not the same as the explotation of their labour or the way non-cis men experience gender oppression.

Damn I have an exam in two days but I just can't focus / study...

Maybe I should really get myself checked for ADHD some time, but also I worry about self-diagnosis? Is it ableist of me to suspect that I might have ADHD because I'm unable to study / focus?
