Manliness Organization Offers Thousands in Prizes Via Its ‘Dismantle Patriarchy’ Contest – Opinion

If you’re stressed over the state of masculinity, here’s good news: A man-savvy organization is on the case.

“A Call to Men” markets itself as preparing “the next generation of manhood.” In order to fix the future, the group is hosting an art project for high schoolers and college students.

Introducing the “2022 Dismantle Patriarchy” contest.

The official website describes the effort as follows:

Young people are invited to enter the Dismantle Patriarchy Contest. They can use music, visual art, song, poem, story, writing, or video to imagine how they could change patriarchy’s larger societal structure and make society more accepting.

If you are curious about the patriarchy, is,It’s all in A Call to Men

The patriarchy system is one in which men and masculinity are deemed more valuable than women and femininity. This gives men more power and resources as well as knowledge. Women are told that women deserve less, including less money, less freedom, and less strength.

As for the wage gap, feminist Christina Hoff Sommers has addressed the idea — see Time’s “The Gender Wage Gap Myth and 5 Other Feminist Fantasies.”

Additionally, consider the CBS News piece “The Gender Pay Gap is a Complete Myth.”

What about the other forms of oppression? ACTM claims the patriarchy “erases people who don’t ascribe to traditional gender roles, too often with violence.”

But rejoice: “Worldwide, youth are calling for a change in the systems that continue to fail us.”

In fact, there’s a bouquet of bugaboos:

The resurgence and devastating consequences of the climate disaster, as well as ongoing economic inequality, have been evident.

So let’s pelt the patriarchy — “which creates a culture of domination, violence and suppression.”

Of course, the word “patriarch” means “a man who is father or founder.” Are men just inherently vile?

If not, headlines aren’t helping:

Some people are opposed to this anti-patriarchy strategy.



Nonetheless, A Call to Men will award “ten winners from each category (high school and college)” with “$1,000 prizes.”

When creating patriarchy-pummeling artwork, enterants are encouraged to think about the following:

• Is patriarchy harmful to transgender persons and people who have fluid identities, which are victims of gender-based violence?
• If you view gender differently than you’ve previously been taught to see it, how do you think your worldview will change? Is this what the future holds for us and our world?
• Who does patriarchy prioritize? For those traditionally excluded and marginalized, what would a world that wasn’t patriarchal look like?

The planet is also being improved by A Call to Men. It’s issued “A Call to Allies to Interrupt Microaggressions.”

“According to the fourth annual Women in the Workplace report,” it relays, “64 percent of women report experiencing gender-based microaggressions, and women of color experience it more than anyone else.”

It hurts to tell the truth

“Men benefit from male privilege whether we want to or not. White people also benefit from male privilege. … In 2017, the Center for Health Journalism explained that racism and microaggressions lead to worse health, and pointed out that discrimination can negatively influence everything from a target person’s eating habits to his or her trust in their physician, and trigger symptoms of trauma. [Microaggressions] have come to be known as “death by a thousand cuts.”

Back to the contest, judging will be provided by Youth ACT, a group aimed at “promoting healthy masculinity and healthy relationships, preventing gender-based violence, and creating a better world for ALL women, girls, men, boys, LGBQ+ Transgender and nonbinary people.”

So if you’d like to maim manliness with music, or pound the patriarchy with poetry, now’s your chance.
