While often complex, at its most basic both racism and sexism are mechanisms used by rich white men to deflect resentment of their entitlement & privilege onto groups that have spent years, decades trying to combat the prejudices they have confronted.
Their very success makes them a useful target of mis-direction when the entitled are looking to shift the blame for poverty, lack of opportunity & social exploitation.
The only really dangerous minority are the rich!

Consider that, if you've been blocked by someone for "just asking a simple question", it wasn't just a simple question.
Your question doesn't exist in a vacuum.
The "just a simple question" was so unpleasant that the person would rather block you than communicate.
Maybe think about that for a bit, and have some self-reflection on your own behaviour.
(ESPECIALLY if your response to being blocked is then to carry on in the comments of their post about how they blocked you)

"The Woman Who Predicted Tech Fascism — Paulina Borsook Was Right"
"These techno-libertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect."
Paulini Borsook, Cyberselfish

Borsook wrote Cyberselfish in 2001. And their personality defect? Narcissistic psychopathy.

As a reminder, the notion that people should be able to maintain "a clean, well-organized household" came from the 19th century Western "upper classes" where the wife was expected to stay home and do this full time - and this was used as a status symbol and status marker to distinguish the affluent from the working classes, where women almost always had to work in (poorly paid) jobs in order to keep the household budget afloat.
Therefore, this notion is not only #Sexism but also #ClassWarfare . Thus, when someone presents this kind of "lifestyle" as something you should aspire to (whether a tv show, an Influencer, or a glossy magazine), you should really contemplate what kind of political agenda they are trying to sell to you.
Now, if you _enjoy_ keeping a household in a good, clean order, more power to you! Everyone needs their passion projects, after all! But it should not be the _expected_ thing - particularly for people who are already overwhelmed by the demands this late-stage Capitalist hellscape places on us!
I'm not sure if I follow.
@lowqualityfacts
Patriachy doesnt exist because women are now *allowed* to correctly state a fact that contradicts a male assertion
They may be:
Paid less
Mocked
Ignored
Threatened
Assulted
For being correct but disagreeing is allowed
