Patriarchy is a system that teaches women that men are gods, who can bestow their attention on them and lead them to higher levels of knowledge, power and experience. This is false, but it is not surprising that many women feel this way, since it forms the basis of the teachings of the dominant religions. No wonder Amanda Todd would prefer to hurt herself than afflict any hurt or rightful retribution on someone who was male and whom she must have felt to be her natural superior. RIP. Other women will continue to fight this battle for you.
