You know, I think the only real UnfortunateImplications about Aloe is that apparently a fictional black woman can\'t wear an apron without it being considered a racist stereotype. >>; Without the apron, people would just comment on her looking like she walked straight out of the seventies and that\'d be it.

What does that have to do with anything? When did I claim at any point that men are never hurt by sexist {{Double Standard}}s?

On the subject of your actual edit, in common usage \

On the subject of your actual edit, in common usage \\\"the conspiracy\\\" may be a more flexible term, but as a \\\'\\\'trope\\\'\\\' (which is what you linked to), TheConspiracy is very specifically \\\"a secretive villainous group with an Evil Plan.\\\" Which does not fit the feminist definition of what the patriarchy is -- there is no secretive villainous group, nor any explicit evil plans. Just sexism, and old boys\\\' clubs that simply don\\\'t feel comfortable letting women in, or doubt their competence. Even \\\'\\\'that\\\'\\\' doesn\\\'t really fit the definition of TheConspiracy, and \\\"the patriarchy\\\" is hardly synonymous with \\\"old boys\\\' club\\\", either. So, I\\\'m removing that pot-hole, once again.

Though really, the whole sentence makes no sense; \\\"kick patriarchy in the crotch\\\", in context, sounds like the feminist in question wants to kick all men in the crotch, or something; the patriarchy, by feminist theory, is simply the system of {{Double Standard}}s and other sexist cultural mores that prevail in society... Which really makes \\\"kicking it in the crotch\\\" sound like a [[StrawmanHasAPoint not particularly bad, or extremist, idea]]. I\\\'m too lazy to re-write the whole sentence, though.
