When people say things like “gender is a prison everyone is in” sometimes I think it’s forgotten that prisons have guards. This isn’t even just about men saying they suffer too, but about the way men and women enforce Correct gender as a form of violence

If the benefits of conformance to a system outweigh the risk of disobedience… people will enforce it because it materially benefits them to do so
