Patriarchy? What does that mean in the context of opinions in this thread? This thread is mostly page after page of anti asylum seeker bs, but a few dissenting posts equals what exactly?

Of course it would be the same if young, white, men, women, and children were fleeing the conditions that these people are. It's not the brown skin that makes them worthy of assistance, it's the fact we caused a lot of these problems, and they're people, not trash or parasites, or an invading force.
