Obligatory disclaimer: As a lesbian in the Crone phase of my life, I wholeheartedly embrace the term "bitch" as a retaking and female empowering of a term used by the patriarchy to put down women. I am activating my bitch power. Please read on. If you disagree, argue here.
Obligatory reply: It is only because of the benevolence of the patriarchy that you have the freedom to rail against it. If men as a group decided tomorrow that you have no rights, you'd have no rights and there would be nothing you could do about it. See every country where women have to cover their face or be escorted when walking in public, for examples. You are literally too stupid to know how good you have it, or who is responsible for how good you have it.
Men keep this country running. Infrastructure and life as YOU know it would be over within a very short time if men as a group decided to say 'F you, you're on your own'. Electricity would be gone quickly, oil would stop flowing, refining into fuel would rapidly come to and end, transportation as we know it would end, shipping as we know it would end, there would be no one to put out your fires and no way to get to them even if women tried, prisons would empty without men to guard them, police departments would close their doors because an all woman police department would fail hard.
Life as you know it and take so much for granted while looking down your nose at those who benevolently provide it, would be OVER. Show some gratitude and some respect. Go make a man a sammich and say 'thank you'.
