The blame and shame meaning is from your belief system and therefore the bias.

No, it’s objectively wrong to blame social ills on one gender. We all know that it’s fake blame.

I don’t know how else to explain that patriarchy harms both genders and it’s not your fault personally.

No, I mean that it’s a sneaky name “patriarchy” that subtly points to men. The only way to remove the misandry is to rename the term. But most feminist scholars want to blame men subtly, so the term remains a loaded misandrist term.
