When they talk of attitudes in which sexist men behave as tho women need to be ruled by them or have to defer to them. That does happen.

Although it also happens that feminists perceive many attitudes as reflections of a desire for patriarchy with very little justification
-
In reality, men no longer have the right to tell women what to do in any aspect of life nor can they access positions of power women can't.

So, let me ask you this. Do you think it's reasonable, given hist. record, for feminists to be ever-vigilant about resurgence of patriarchy?
-
Well, yes, but I am not worried. In both the US & UK around 80% of ppl support legal gender equality. In UK, men slightly more than women.

Only 5% of Brits feel women should always obey their husbands. Rises to 39% among British Muslims.

Sure. But I do see why feminists in the US are worried about Trumpistan, even if Handmaid's Tale comparisons are overheated.

Absolutely but claiming him to be evidence of patriarchy spectacularly misses the point.
