    It's never the right thing to do something like this. But this does seem a bit strange. Did this really come from the 'patriarchy':

    I have never head someone that was part of the “patriarchy” use the word patriarchy…

    Sounds like a false flag or a troll. You can really never tell anymore. Hopefully the find the person and charge them to the maximum extent of the law.

    Is it the white patriarchy or the black patriarchy? I'm confused.

    "Patriarchy" seems more likely to come from one of those Hyphen Studies majors. Not saying Omar was in on it, but she should take a long hard look at her staff.

    Definitively a false flag attempt by the left.

    Why are you using a potential death threat to perpetuate this fringe conspiracy theory?

    What do you mean by, "the 'Patriarchy'?" Is there a group now going by this name, which I have just not heard about? Otherwise, patriarchy is merely the male-dominated, human world, which has been the norm for thousands of years, at least. Anyone who misses, or longs for, the pre-feminism days, might have put those words on their package. Obviously, it was only meant as a scare tactic, or else they would not have advertised the package, with a written threat.

    I believe the culpable party, however, is in for a disappointing future, even if he avoids detection by authorities. The pendulum of power has been very slowly shifting for a good while now and, while its motion will not be straight & even, has & will even include periods of retrograde movement, the momentum in this direction seems far from expended.

    It all falls in the same pattern of the far right, that doesn't care about what the constitution has to say when they are confronted with non white women who got a different political opinion.

    Any press is good press, who'd waste a stamp on her.....doubt any "investigation" will turn up anything (big surprise), nuttin' but a publicity stunt.

    Except no one in the 'far right' uses the term "The Patriarchy".
    That's a gender studies term ffs.

    If it had been a white supremacist they would've used confederate or neo nazi terms and symbology and you know it.

    Law enforcement uses the category “pro-patriarchy nationalist groups” for groups that target woman. Who knows if one of them have adopted this name.
    Could be some evangelical or incel yahoos. I have some empathy for law enforcement having to play whack-a-mole with the ease in which the internet makes uniting like-minded crazies. We’ve gotta take mental health more seriously. Threats are not free speech nor protected.

    Because many - including that particular poster - never get tired of that story. Any opportunity to bring it up works.

    The only folks I know who ever refer to a group as the "patriarchy" are women's studies acolytes, that should likely winnow down the number of potential suspects....

    By different political opinion, you're referring to her being a radical socialist, right? Is that not the term you were looking for? Wasn't it she who most recently said that the crime spike in Minneapolis was caused because cops didn't honor their oath of office? That person?

    Ah... folks you know and do not know. And so if you don't know any male that takes pride of the patriarchy concept, it means it does not exist? Really?

    I sourced you're wrong in post 19. How about you google something the next time instead of be dependent of your experiences of some friends....

    Not at all. It means that the only folks I have ever heard use that term in public are lefty feminists who chafe at the structure. I'll expect that if you believe you can and have found perpetrators you could easily cite them by reputable source. Your assertion "i sourced you're wrong" sentence seems telling, and an indication of lack of ability.
