I would say that the point is this kind of sentiment from the manosphere, for example just these quotes by Andrew Tate:

Look familiar? Good for you if you get to live your middle upper class cottagecore dream with a hipster lumberjack that brings home everything you'll ever need. That definitely sounds pretty awesome.

But mostly this is about control and power of men over women, especially for women that aren't in the economic class to get to have shelves of unread books and the luxury of spending all of their time doing arts and crafts and making tiktok videos.

We shouldn't publicize Andrew Tate, he's like a malware virus

Yeah. For a long time I had no idea who he is, cuz' I wasn't on Facebook and Twitter I suppose. I only found out when he got in trouble in Romania, and I regret finding out.

I understand the sentiment but also, I should think a community called "Witches vs Patriarchy" would actually involve the "vs Patriarchy" part and not just be another !witchymemes@lemmy.world. And Andrew Tate is like everything wrong with the patriarchy rolled into one and one of the poster boys for it these days. So it comes with the discussion.
