Man here, I absolutely agree that women are too often labelled as “crazy”, but I don’t know what universal “truth” this post claims men are repressing.
Let’s not be obtuse now, we all know there is no mystical door, behind which men have sealed away The Truth. The point is that accusations of being crazy can be used as a one-size-fits-all deflection. And for some reason, it keeps working.
For example, women claim trump is on the epstein list, they claim the women are crazy, they’re diminished and not tsken seriously. A woman accuses her husband of cheating, he calls her crazy, gaslights her, and slanders her to back up his lies. I accuse my cat of talking in his sleep, he calls me crazy and goes back to bed. It never ends.

To be fair it does not say men, it says patriarchy, anybody of any gender can uphold the patriarchy. It does not have to be men.
Edit: Also, despite the phrasing it does not refer to a universal truth necessarily, just any truth of what is happening, what has happened etc.
It’s not about one thing. Chill. Its about any salient critique.
