No1s been able to give me example of patriarchy in the US w/out changing meaning to a)Men & women make different choices or b)assholes exist

Patriarchy doesn't mean 'assholes exist.' It means a system of society in which men have all ruling power & women are denied access to it.
-
Women aren't denied power under 'patriarchy'. Free yourself of this cancerous theory, there's women in power everywhere
-
They are denied ruling power or it isn't a patriarchy. I'm writing abt this now & academically focus on the kind of power women had under it
-
I say women here are not denied power because this isn't a patriarchy. Strong women can make it, but not if they cast themselves victims
-
I say the same thing. Cross-purposes. I thought you mean women aren't denied power in patriarchies but you meant that we're not in one?
-
I think it's possible for some women to have individual power in patriarchal societies (e.g. ancient Rome, medieval Europe)
-
But a "patriarchy" in which women have equal legal & political rights and are not subject to male authority? that makes no sense
