You’ve seen it. Maybe you’ve lived it.

Raise a concern about patriarchy or gender inequality and watch the familiar sequence unfold: Dismiss. Deflect. Deny. Blame. The script is so consistent, it might as well be copied and pasted.

In this episode of the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Podcast, Lynn dives deep into the most predictable, rehearsed responses some men use when systemic sexism or harmful dynamics are brought to light. These reactions aren’t just random or emotionally immature—they’re often part of a broader effort to uphold dominance, redirect blame, and silence the conversation before it can spark real change.

We examine:

  • Why emotional invalidation is a control tactic
  • How reframing women’s concerns into personal attacks protects the status quo
  • The subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways men shift focus away from structural problems
  • The weaponization of "logic" and faux objectivity
  • Why empathy becomes selective when male power feels threatened

This episode challenges listeners to see these reactions for what they are: a resistance to evolution disguised as reason, humor, or indifference.

We’re not here to debate whether these tactics are real. We’re here to unpack why they persist, how they function, and what it costs all of us—especially women—to keep giving them oxygen.

This isn’t about vilifying men.

It’s about exposing a well-worn playbook that’s been running interference on progress for decades.

Listen in as we name the patterns, reclaim the narrative, and refuse to be gaslit into silence.
