To his credit the guy let us oppose the patriarchy, but it was a huge out of character drain to explain to the other players why I think male headed absolute rule is bad, actually, and I don’t enjoy that in my leisure. It was not the right group for me.
no game can be better than bad game. you have to do you. I couldn’t sit through a game that’s about supporting things hurting my life in real life either. there’s a lot of themes that would have me saying ‘sorry not a good fit for me, enjoy you game, goodbye’
True but the best stories are sometimes the one’s that make you go “wait… are WE the bad guys?!” and then give you the agency to choose the other side

TOTALLY fair. It’s definitely less emotional burden being a cis white guy fighting the patriarchy than… anything else, really
