Well it’s a nifty word to prohibit certain discussions and make everyone feel ok at all times. But not talking about something won’t make it disappear.
It’s a word that describes a phenomenon with precision, which often allows for more nuanced conversations that are ultimately more challenging and useful. I’m not advocating for your silence by using it, just illustrating that your actions are also gross.
You’re conflating “men” with “patriarchy,” which just reinforces harmful stereotypes about gender and sex.

You’re using the same harmful logic that the people I’m sure you most disagree with use.
