> It's also been shown in studies that nonviolent felonies are imposed against minorities at a much higher rate, for the same crimes.

This also applies to men, so is it a white matriarchal system oppressing men and minorities?

Non sequitur and false equivalence. Men being disadvantaged in the justice system doesn't inherently make it matriarchal. Absolutely absurd point to bring up to deflect on racial injustices.

No, obviously it isn't a matriarchal system. Patriarchy can and does oppress men as well as women, likewise white supremacy can oppress white people even as it's designed to oppress others more.

If you're actually interested in something other than trying to dunk on feminism, here are some sources you can follow. You can search to find more if you want.

No, it's a white patriarchal system.

If you think that patriarchy means "men can do whatever they want without consequence", rather than, "men are in control of the power hierarchy", you don't understand patriarchy.

A hierarchy run by men favors men, but there are still men at the top of that stratification, and men at the bottom.

And guess which of those men go to prison.
