patriarchy ultimately benefits men*, but all people can wield it for at least crumbs of power
when you’re a woman who conforms to patriarchal standards, stepping on the women who don’t helps you look better in the eyes of men*, and so it gives you more power relative to the women you stepped on
* i am talking about men as a social class here, not men as individual people. before someone not-all-men’s me.

Yeah men love the catty bitch stereotype of women, the one who tears down other women over shallow nonsense.
Men tear down women just for the love of the game apparently.
I’m sure some do.
