It sounds like you haven’t had the best impression of or experience with men which is unfortunate.

Why is there a stereotype that men are just degenerates looking to get laid and lacking any sort of empathy towards a woman’s (or anybody’s) struggles?

I’m currently doing my best to raise my 1 year old daughter with a second on the way, cleaning up the house and yard while my wife is sick during her pregnancy, working 2 jobs and starting a business on top of that, and somewhere in there trying to find time to exercise and stay fit.

This comes at the cost of any type of social life which at times certainly makes me feel a bit depressed and isolated. Is this somehow representative of “the patriarchy”?

Not trying to argue or reject your points as I’m sure you are going through things as well just like the rest of us. But let’s use caution before we group every single man into one stereotypical category.
