A moral compass for rich people who benefited materialistically from sexism?
"What is Institutional Courage? It is an institution’s commitment to seek the truth and engage in moral action, despite unpleasantness, risk, and short-term cost. It is a pledge to protect and care for those who depend on the institution. It is a compass oriented to the common good of individuals, the institution, and the world. It is a force that transforms institutions into more accountable, equitable, healthy places for everyone. From the Center for Institutional Courage."

“'But everyone says you’re always so kind and thoughtful on the set,' Karen said. 'David Zucker'—who directed Faris in 'Scary Movie' 3 and 4—'sent you a card saying you were a director’s dream.'”
'That’s because I was willing to get hit in the head a million times,' Faris said. In the course of the four films, her character, Cindy, gets choked, kicked, run over, pegged in the head with a football, told she has 'orangutan titties,' called a 'fuckin’ tease' by a parrot, and hosed into a wall by gallons of semen, among many other indignities. She told me, 'It started to break me a little, all the physical stuff I had to have done to me.'"

“'Yeah, why did you accept that?' Karen asked. Jack Faris grinned at his wife’s fluid transition to offense.
'Because you taught me not to be a baby,' Faris said. 'I blame you! I wanted to be one of the guys!'
'That’s right!' Karen said.
Earlier, she had told me, 'I remember saying to Anna, ‘You have a cute figure, but you don’t have to show it off. And, if you use your period as an excuse, that shows weakness. Be tough.’ ' Every month or so, Faris sends her mother a vintage postcard of a buxom starlet emerging from a waterfall, or unzipping her top, with an impish note on the back: 'Hey Mom—trying to make it as an actress in LA—met this great photographer, and he says I’m going to be a star!' 'It gives me such joy,' Faris told me, 'because I know how mortified my mom is going to be that the postman has seen them.'”

"The high risks and scanty rewards of feminist solidarity are likely why the levels of politicization among female faculty tend to be surprisingly low. Many scholars seem to see the burdens they carry as the result of their own choices or the behavior of individual misogynistic men, rather than as structured by a larger patriarchal system. 'We heard a surprising lack of anger,' lamented the authors of the Irvine study. 'Few women asked for institutional intervention toward a more just reconciliation between the commitment to family and the commitment to career. From the standpoint of institutional reform, then, these are not efficacious voices. These are voices of struggle, denial, and helplessness, ultimately lacking the empowering strategies to handle or change their seemingly intractable circumstances.'”

https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-34/essays/sexism-in-the-academy/
"THE THREE MAIN MECHANISMS for instituting academic patriarchy discussed so far could be summed up thus: one, men’s preference for men (whether for students, citations, or granting tenure); two, skepticism about women’s abilities ('prove it again'), which wastes women’s time by forcing them to do more work; and three, harassment, which diverts women from their career interests and is often a source of trauma.
A fourth category of sexist practices, which might be collected under the heading of 'vanity,' may be ridiculous, but it is no less pernicious."

At the very least, some people can stop pretending their addiction to self absorption is coming from their wiser selves.
It's actually contributing to needless pain and suffering.
And catering to sexist, immature people just because they're well-off or appear to be a gatekeeper to some short term $$$ benefit isn't going to make society any better or safer.

Sometimes the patriarchy will reward people for many put downs and little mean-spirited actions, but often those people who indulge in them a lot get very tired later on. Why would you get any truly nourishing energy from just going along with stuff that's meant to degrade and dehumanize people?
Thinking that putting others down is a way to make themselves feel powerful. Some people still get rewarded for that more than others. Insecure man: mean to people because he gets a temporary high off of it. Insecure woman: mean to people because she gets a temporary high off of it.
Shopper versus mother categorization is deceptive.

Patriarchal constructs at this time still reward certain kinds of people for certain kinds of behavior. People who were probably much nicer when they were younger have been trained by the patriarchy to change themselves in very unhealthy ways. Despair at the unhealthy climate and culture this creates.
Many women in this country have been trained to pamper a very small class of people *certain privileged males, and the more money they have, the better* and they still seem to be unmotivated to care about immigrants who make their lives comfortable. Despair at the cruelty.
I am sorry certain men get rewarded or excused for worse behaviors (because compared to so-and-so, that guy is so much better?) Despair at the low standards.
And it truly has been terrible for my health to think about it too much.

Hi...Brothers...
Do you ever think about religion. It's Sunday.
Sometimes I think about how lots of women in this country got exposed to patriarchal religious training from a very early age.
Sometimes I observe human behavior, and then I think about how a surprising amount of the people some brothers choose to hang around with would be making so many excuses for me, right now, no matter what I did.
No matter what, no matter what, no matter what???
If I were simply living on this Earth in a different kind of body.
Right now.
If I think about it a lot, that's crazy!
But I guess that's kind of like a religion these days.
Just been reminded recently - today - to say that I thought about that.
Now maybe some of them will be reminded to think about it lots of times.

"Never mind that our back yard bordered a burning tire dump, my grandfather's property was paradise. We had stately buckeyes, the state tree, in our front yard, wild raspberry bushes on our back fence, a climbable cherry tree by our grape arbor and a hill in the back for sledding.
Kids growing up in rubber factory families back then lived the good life. When my dad gave me and my more practical sister, Helen, his charge card to O'Neil's, the swank downtown department store, to buy bathing suits, I bought the most expensive one; my sister was more considerate.
I was spoiled, but there was a price. My father, a creative man with artistic talent untapped, had to walk through factory doors for 40 years of his life.
I imagined the Normans had similar financial security."

"Kent State Truth Tribunal - Remembering Arthur Krause, My Dad by Laurel Krause On this day, the 19th of October 2014, I am writing about and remembering my father Arthur S. Krause who crossed over 26 years ago on October 19, 1988. Arthur Krause was born January 11, 1924 and lived for 64 years. He was raised in Pennsylvania and Ohio, fought in WWII and married my mother Doris Krause in his early twenties as he returned from war. They settled in Chicago where he attended the Illinois Institute of Technology and went to work at Westinghouse Electric Corporation for his entire work life. My parents had two children, Allison and me, Laurel. Just before Allison's birth in 1951 our family relocated to Cleveland, Ohio. When I came along in 1955, we were making our home in Cleveland Heights and leading a traditional, middle-class, Jewish family life. On Sundays our family took drives in the country surrounding Cleveland with Dad driving. We'd often end up for dinner at the Robin Hood Restaurant in Kent, Ohio. As far back as I can remember Allison had decided to go to college at Kent State University. She thought the campus was beautiful, especially the lilacs in Spring and my folks were pleased with her choice in a state school, also close to home with lower tuition costs. The Krause family moved to Pittsburgh in 1962 when Dad transferred to Westinghouse headquarters. In 1963 I remember President John F. Kennedy's assassination and how that event traumatized everyone. Everywhere it felt like we lost a member of our family when President Kennedy was killed. It was the beginning of the change. Westinghouse needed my Dad's help at a plant near Baltimore so our family moved to Wheaton, Maryland. Mom and Dad chose our home in a newly-built development in the suburbs with great schools. Allison and I entered progressive, 'experimental' public schools with more freedom and innovations in teaching. There were classes with different grades mixed in, dress codes were relaxed and the arts were central to education in these public schools. It was in Maryland when Allison began to question the US government's role in the Vietnam War. Allison and I were against the war but Dad and Mom supported President Johnson and his war in Vietnam. Then Nixon made it to the White House and my parents despised him, at that time mostly because he was a republican. We had no idea how much President Nixon's decisions would affect our family. Allison attended John F. Kennedy high school and blossomed. She made art, read voraciously and she volunteered at St. Elizabeth's an institution for challenged and disabled youth ... Allison wanted to contribute and make a difference. In America, there was a social and political crisis brewing. It was the deep chasm between the older generations and the younger generation. It was the generation gap. A touchy battle ensued against the young, brought to a head by the US conscription system aka the draft lottery ... where young American men were forced to fight in the Vietnam War that they did not support. And with the voting age at 21, a war they weren't even permitted to vote on. Allison was against the Vietnam War and Dad for all-systems-go for war, mostly because his generation had been taught to never question authority especially the activities of the US government. Like many Americans, he fought the war to end all wars ... believing war saved the American way of life. Our generation watched and witnessed as the US government and military told lies to mislead us to support more war in Vietnam. We saw air pollution raising havoc as the nuclear crisis lingered over our desks. We weren't fooled but we saw how the older generation (those in power) bought it all and enforced the status quo. At the Krause family dinner table there were battles over Vietnam, about how my sister and I were dressing, about our opposition to nuclear weapons, especially as it related to my Dad's work at Westinghouse, about saving the environment and the widening gap between the social and political values of the Generation Gap. Dinner table battle..."

A guy wanted to tell me some stuff about why he's not happy with the environment at his job. A lot of guys at his work are very old-fashioned and have an old-school mentality. They also make comments that indicate they are threatened when they see women take on new responsibilities that they didn't see when they were growing up. This guy thinks he might go into business for himself. Recently he used some downtime at work to teach himself how to type faster. His colleagues don't want to be expected to do more, so they criticize him and say "Why are you doing that." He said lots of women he knows learned how to type faster, so he thought he might as well learn how. And he also said they (the old-school guys) don't like to read. He says money gets wasted in this atmosphere of ennui. Okay, maybe he didn't exactly say "atmosphere of ennui."
His wife told him those guys aren't gonna change so he should just leave.
