Healing...
But it seems as though many "privileged people" either don't want to help or don't know how to help. You get the message that you are from the wrong kind of background or genetics for their frame of reference. However, they might know how to be more helpful to others and even enjoy doing so if they got more healing work done for themselves. But many were taught to disdain such things, and some still get rewarded for being unhealed. So they have no motivation to change, and cannot see how change would benefit them too. Yet, it also seems as though it is not an option to change to accommodate the patriarchal ones because too many factors (genetics and background) make it so the universe won't allow it.
The forces of patriarchy and sexism do NOT affect everyone similarly.
Maybe it would be better to find other people or resources...

“'The Journals of Knud Rasmussen' is based on real events in 1922 that were literally written down within the journals of Knud Rasmussen. It is a post-contact story, a story of the loss of cultures, the story of Danish explorer Knud Rasmussen’s encounter with an Inuit family group, the story of a shaman (Avva) giving up his spirit guides so that his people can eat, the story of a young woman (Apak) whose connection to the spirit world allows her to see what others can’t: that life will never be the same again. This is the film that transformed me."
~ Cara Mumford
"Digital Shamanism* and The Journals of Knud Rasmussen" http://www.caramumford.com/blog/digital-shamanism-and-the-journals-of-knud-rasmussen"As we end National Women’s Month, I offer praise to my mother-in-law, Helen Chavez, who along with her husband Cesar, my wife Anna, and her seven siblings, started the farmworker movement, later joined by Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association with Cesar Chavez. Without Helen Chavez, there would never have been a Cesar Chavez. She was the rock of the movement."
~ Richard Ybarra
"Opinion: Cesar Chavez was my father-in-law and my boss for many years. Here's what he taught me." - The San Diego Union-Tribune
"There is one lingering controversy. In the 1970s, during grape and lettuce strikes, a few Chicano intellectuals began to tell a story of Cesar Chavez being against undocumented workers. I was in a number of these conversations between them. He always said, that unlike him, they did not have a constituency and could afford to be abstract. Since then, a number of Latino intellectuals and detractors have repeated that he had said, 'I am against undocumented workers.' They conveniently left off the rest of his words, 'who break my strikes or are used as strikebreakers. I represent undocumented strikers who don’t want anyone, documented or not, breaking their strike. If my own mother broke my strike, I would be against her.'"If I have been around people who treat women much better than you do, why should I not expect better?

Well, no one ever said you had to be super mature or non-sexist to be a dad of a daughter, the universe reminded me once again. If an exchange lasted for a minute, I got paid 30 cents for overhearing it.
Elder Dad of Daughter laughed with Younger Dad of Daughter about how he knew it was sexist but he couldn't believe B. Clinton was the President of the United States and couldn't do any better than M. Lewinsky and Younger Dad added to their mirth by saying Arnold Schwarzenegger was even worse for having a kid with his maid.
Tip: In the next life, it might not sound so funny. Might just sound like they're being sort of sexist and dehumanizing. Dads.
Bonus: Some patience was required before any of that unfolded when another dad who wanted to ask for help but was also partially embarrassed about asking for it kept throwing around terms relating to his occupation, like "aerospace" "millions" "margins" and also "I respect what you do, but I don't need this shit" (well not to make $$$, technically, but if he wants a degree I guess he does...) Yet at the end, he said "Thank you" and behaved nicely and did not join in with the other two (although he might have overheard them too? Who knows). Progress?
It's almost noon. I feel ill and dizzy and I am taking an antibiotic. The stubborn patriarchal types do not seem to be very helpful nor the best for my health at this time.

"Shadow in Hawthorn Bay by Janet Lunn"

It is, in some ways, a rather creepy book but it brings back pleasant memories of living in a house with a wood stove. On a bluff. Surrounded by the sounds of the wind, and scotch broom. On an island in the Pacific Northwest.
Two pleasant young guys talked with me about liking the icecream with the boba in it even though it's not for everybody.
Before that, some older employees were cussing in another aisle. One was complaining that raves "used to be much safer." Were they really? I wanted to inquire and then Nope, not doing that to myself today.
Later, the cussing guy was mildly picking on his female coworker as a display of his prowess at jokey dominance. RAVES USED TO BE MUCH SAFER FOR HIM.
Waking up in a cold sweat muttering "Bad for women! That industry is bad for women!"
Oh phew.
That was just a dream.
Just one? Absolutely not. What century are you living in?

"McAleese was awarded a doctorate in Canon Law in 2018 (JCD)[17] at Rome's Pontifical Gregorian University.[86] In 2013, she said that she obtained a master's degree and licentiate in canon law and her interest grew because of her concern about what has been happening in the Church – the sexual abuse scandal, among other things. When McAleese looked at the scandal, she said 'I was struck by what investigators said about canon law and canon lawyers. It was a scathing indictment: In not one single incidence of sexual abuse had canon law been able to do anything on the victim's side, nothing useful or helpful.'"[87]
"Mary McAleese" - Wikipedia
"While
Michigan's 1931 law allows abortions to save the life of the mother, Nessel noted that an affirmative defense is difficult to prove. and speculated that fear of prosecution would discourage doctors from performing abortions even when women's lives were at risk.
Whose prognosis counts?
Consider, she says, a pregnant woman with cancer.
"An oncologist would never let you have radiation treatment or chemotherapy if you were pregnant, but an oncologist would never opine that you were going to die before the child was born," Nessel said. "It’s a guessing game."
Any trial would become a contest of dueling experts, with the outcome hinging on the jury's judgment, not a physician's."

"Patriarchy is so ubiquitous and so devious that even people and organizations who oppose it in theory can end up colluding with it. We experience it as a relapsing illness. Some of its symptoms, which are most observed in workplaces, include:
- The belief that there is one right way of doing everything, and we alone know what it is
-Expecting others to just 'deal with' conditions and expectations they deem unfair or harmful
-Individualistic rather than collective notions and expressions of leadership
-Fear of vulnerability and intimacy
-Commitment to inflexible hierarchy
-Power hoarding
-Prioritizing performance and production over care and protection"
~ Philip Agnew and Marcus Littles

https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/gilded-age-star-louisa-jacobson-174512892.html
"Jacobson shared that she had begun to consider her ideas surrounding body image as a result of the role 'I realized how I'd internalized beauty standards,' she said. She told Smith that she'd asked the costumers fitting her to tighten the corsets. 'Just tighten it, I want to look snatched,' she recalled telling them, describing that choice as 'ambitious.' Jacobson added that ultimately she 'really suffered from that decision' because her 'Gilded Age' costumes were each based on the tightness of the corset she selected at the initial fitting."

Q: What does encountering people who indulge in dehumanizing behavior patterns mean to you?
A: In a different decade, there were religious people who thought your girl child self would "grow out of" being feminist and learn to put men first like they did...and in more recent times, the Sexist Bible Study Guys have wives who are willing to go along with their points of view, according to them...

"There was the element of having women say, 'You know, we don’t want to listen to music that’s gonna degrade us,' then the men saying, 'That makes sense — and you’re right; our music is pretty sexist sometimes.' So music director Estella Del Villar would sit there, listen to records as they came in and filter out all the sexist music.
And they asked: 'What do women want to talk about?' Anything and everything, right? We want to talk about cooking and have recipes on air, we want to have music, but we also want to be serious and acknowledge things like domestic violence and incest — I don’t think that would’ve happened in an only-male-run station, to be honest. Because those situations intimately affect women in a particular way.""*New Update* When I was around 10 I met a strange boy who seemed to appear from nowhere, him and I became super close friends but after about a year he disappeared.

"Richard Loving - Wife, Death & Children" - Biography
"The 'Loving' Costumes are Just as Powerful and Understated as the Film" | Fashionista
https://fashionista.com/.amp/2016/11/loving-movie-costumes
Between the film and the documentary I finally got my suspicion confirmed about Mildred Loving's blue coat.
I told a most trusted & helpful soul that I believed Mildred Loving's coat was a deep royal blue with a black collar, much like the blue coat I wore when we met in college which also had a black collar, but whenever I look online, it's hard to find color photographs of her in the blue coat.
After watching the movie and seeing her in a darker blue coat with more of a brown furry collar, I wanted to know if I could see the color of the actual coat in the documentary. He fell asleep for part of it, and then woke up again. I was distracted when I heard him say, "Coat!" And yes, there it was!
I no longer have the coat I wore in college, but today I have a wrap which is also a very deep blue and it has a black collar.
