Have you published in scholarly or peer-reviewed places? Anyone can write a blog - or a tweet! My detailed arguments are in my books/essays.

This doesn't prevent you from engaging with the arguments tho, does it?

or operate in residual forms in the way our systems (law, education, politics) operate now. No one is saying gains haven't been made since

now to point out how residue of patriarchal systems affect and impact on culture and society now. E.g. whole instiution of marriage is a
-
patriarchal residue. E.g. political system, the way we structure 'work'. Capitalism also doesn't operate now as it did in 19C but that

legal and political systems, cultural norms. So you can't point to choices made by e.g. women & men, black & white ppl, Christians & Muslims
