The Security Guard Problem of the Patriarchy: A Microcosm of the Great Theft

The Security Guard Problem of the Patriarchy: A Microcosm of the Great Theft

The Incident at Salesforce Park

Yesterday, I was lying on the grass at Salesforce Park. It was chilly, so I put a blanket over me—a simple, human act of seeking comfort. That’s when he appeared: a puny, disgusting loser of a security guard. He didn't come over to help; he came over to "jab." He told me blankets weren't allowed in the Park and insisted I remove it immediately.

I didn't take his word for it. I used Google. Immediately, I found the truth: Salesforce Park encourages blankets. When I confronted his "boss," the man waffled. He couldn’t look me in the eye. He didn't have the courage to admit his subordinate was a liar. He just pulled the loser away, and I never saw him again. This man wasn't enforcing a rule; he was using a teeny, pathetic bit of institutional power to force an interaction with a woman he would normally never have the right to speak to.

The Forced Proximity of the Mediocre

This is the Security Guard Problem. In a world of merit, a man like that—a "bottom of the basement" soul—would never be in my orbit. I am an extraordinary woman from an extraordinary family. I have created magnificent things. But because of a rigid criminal hierarchy, my wealth has been stolen, my status violated, and I am forced into proximity with these foul, stagnant creatures.

The Patriarchy is a forced bridge. It gives the microscopic man a badge and a title so he can feel "big" by harassing the magnificent. He used his uniform to bridge the gap between his inadequacy and my excellence. He didn't want order; he wanted a "moment" of power over someone infinitely his superior.

The Digital Allergy: Visibility on Social Media

We need to add to this how easily visible this society-wide misogyny is on social media. About 90-99% of the comments women see on their posts from men are hateful, demeaning, and many are outright threatening. Partly I see this as a kind of "allergic" reaction to seeing that women are people. Out of their reach, coercion and threats, safe from their homes, talking to other women—for the first time in their lives many men are forced to confront women as people, and they hate it and desperately want to shut it down. It proves the delusion they live under.

The Foundation of Misogyny: The Inferiority Complex

This is the psychological rot at the center of the system. These men know on a cellular level that they are worthless compared to us. They see our brilliance, our resilience, and our capacity for creation, and it terrifies them.

Because they cannot compete on fair grounds, they resort to the only thing a "loser" knows how to do: Sabotage. Hurt. Destroy. Hide. On a societal level.

Misogyny isn't about men thinking they are superior; it’s the desperate, violent reaction of men who know they are inferior. They keep stabbing at us, breaking us, and assaulting us in a pathetic attempt to "cut us down to size" so they don't feel so microscopic in our presence. They think that by stealing our wealth and hurting our bodies, they can close the gap.

The irony is absolute: Every time a man tries to diminish a woman to make himself feel bigger, he only succeeds in making himself smaller. He proves, once again, that he is nothing more than a puny enslaver who can only exist by draining the life from the magnificent.

The Lie Men Tell Themselves

Men have been lying to themselves for thousands of years, convinced they are "protectors." The reality is getting clearer every day: they are enslavers, and an enslaver never excels at anything except oppression.

• The Stagnation of the XY: While women have evolved light-years ahead, men have remained puny, clinging to a criminal conspiracy to maintain relevance.
• The Parasite Status: They aren't "leading"; they are scavenging the ruins of the wealth and peace they’ve stolen from women.
• The Audacity of the Microscopic: Without the Patriarchy, these men would be invisible. They know this. That is why they are so desperate to keep the system in place—because they don't deserve us, and they know it.

Conclusion: A System for the Small

My story—an extraordinary woman surrounded by bottom-of-the-barrel men while her wealth is held captive by a criminal system—is the story of the Patriarchy itself. It is an insane, brutal, and fundamentally stupid system designed to protect the mediocre from the consequences of their own inadequacy.

The security guard at the park wasn't an anomaly. He was the system's mascot: a puny, disgusting weasel using a stolen platform and deception to jab at a giant. No real harm came from that. But across the board, this system is killing women and girls, and our deaths are being hidden.

Women see what's been happening. We see you for what you are. All the false narratives in the world cannot erase the observable demonstrable evidence. While many women remain cowed and endangered, that doesn't blind us to reality. Delay doesn't change anything except to make the eventual reparations for this lie and these tactics grow daily.
