If I could get them to realize one thing, it would be that feminism isn't about women participating in patriarchal structures of oppression as oppressors; it's about abolishing patriarchal structures of oppression.
If I got a bonus thing, it would be getting them to realize that patriarchy also harms men, that toxic masculinity harms men (and can be perpetuated by women), and that only a relatively small percentage of men can be categorized as "oppressors."
An oligarch is an oligarch, whether man or woman. And bullying a vulnerable man because he's an easier target than an actual oppressor is not "smashing the patriarchy."
