Well stop trying to make this relationship work, pack your bag and run. If you are in this situation i hope it will get better for you! good luck.

Yes women enforce the patriarchy too but as i was saying men are the main enforcer.

I mean… No? I dont see where it would imply that its men fault. The word mean that men rule. The ODE define it by “a society, system, or country that is ruled or controlled by men” And the argument that both gender (sexes may not be the best word for what you were trying to say) are maintaining the system hold some truth, But you can t deny that men did vote in favour of the rapist in the last US election , or that it is men that are leading a war against feminism in Skorea.

My best guess would be that saintclair’s prononciation was influenced by french, as in french the “t” is pronounced while st john might be more “english”, leading to the “t” being silent
