How anti-feminist males implicitly understand what women are saying (even better than the women themselves)but will not admit it.

What is significant about accusing a woman of "whining" is that it is a tacit admission of patriarchal guilt. I have learned from experience that women's voices, to the degree that they depart from announcing observations in line with convention, are nearly always considered to be "whining". It's an odd way to categorise a view that departs from the conventional, patriarchal perspectives. Whining is a particularly shrill form of "complaining". Yet, one does not complain in a vacuum. It must be supposed that there is something in place, let us say a system or organisation of power, that one must necessarily be "complaining" about. Only in the absence of such a a system or organisation would an observation be considered merely an observation, rather than a complaint.



Those who accuse women of "whining" are tacitly admitting that there is something there for them to "whine" about. That thing is patriarchal power. What an interesting confession.
