Okay so I've seen quite a few people saying how butches and studs benefit from the patriarchy- wtf. You're telling me you believe that a gender non conforming LESBIAN benefits from the patriarchy.
Its actually the opposite. A lot of violence against butches/studs from men is because they veiw them as disobedient women that need to be put in their place, its very much a 'oh you wanna be masculine? Well you're still a woman and I'm a man and I can still hurt you and degrade you.' Type of thing.
Women are set strict standards that they have to fit into, both looks and personality. Butches/studs not only don't care about men and catering to how a woman 'should act'. But they also refuse to fit into the beauty standard. They aren't appealing to men and their male gaze so they become a target.
Saying that they benefit from the patriarchy is harmful because its ignoring their struggles and acting like they have privileges they dont. Masculine lesbains are at the forefront of abuse towards lesbians (especially poc lesbians) because they wear their Sexuallity, they can't hide away.
Anyway you guys are annoying
