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
There can be some female figureheads but patriarchy can still exist 4 main part if the system still set up for men to be in charge of women

eg In the 60s my mother cld vote but cldn't get mortgage or loan w/out male consent (guarantor) coz men still responsible for wives debts
-
She didn't earn as much as men for same job coz explicitly assumed that man was breadwinner & women only worked for bit of extra cash.
-
Right, exactly. So does that, for you, count as an indication (even if vestigial) of patriarchy? Genuine question - I have an open mind.
-
That was patriarchy. It was enshrined in law. Women literally couldn't earn the same coz men expected to pay for family upkeep.
-
It was a big problem particularly for single women & lesbians obviously who even in pairs often couldn't afford to live.
