Imagine if the patriarchy underwent psychotherapy. Sounds crazy? Maybe. However, it would save us all a lot of therapy sessions. Sociologist and comedian Katharina Linnepe exposes the most absurd behavioral disorders, beliefs, and thought patterns of our societal system. Critical, educational, and hilariously funny – this book reveals the true causes of our mental problems and shows how we can counteract a patriarchy that is growing stronger in times of crisis. For example, what our psyche could be spared if the patriarchy went to therapy: female perfectionism and male performance pressure, structures of violence, health gaps, transgenerational traumas, the reversal of equality, wars, the climate crisis, and discrimination.
