Hello as a biological male born into an Islamic household there has always been some kind of expectation over me to lead. Lead a family, lead prayers and all of that, and I absolutely hate it.

I absolutely hate the patriarchal standards Islam sets over men, I don’t even think I’ll consider getting married because I don’t want to bear the burden of these responsibilities.

    Male leadership isn’t an inherently evil thing.

      Of course it is, if leadership is male by definition! And if it is not, if leadership represents all genders and their interests, then it isn’t patriarchy, is it?

      It’s like in response to an argument about abolishment of slavery, you said, “Service is not an inherently evil thing.” True, but irrelevant, and within the context, utterly misleading.

      I have to interpret your response as an implicit, “Yes, except for certain issues, patriarchy is acceptable or good.”
