I don’t have to disavow feminism because I am not one, gender equality and individual rights and liberties are what I argue for.

Is Pakistan a “patriarchy”? Helen can give a you better answer. It certainly is & has a lot of norms & structures which are patriarchal, misogynistic or sexist & I argue against that which is patriarchal, misogynistic or sexist.

Does it reserve positions of ruling power for men and require women to obey their fathers and husbands?" If so, this is the definition of a patriarchal society. 'The rule of the fathers.'

See that’s were it gets complicated, it’s a democratic country of 200 million people which has twice elected a woman PM, positions of power are accessible to women but advantage men. To the second part tgere is also variance but the tilt is more in favour of men.

That is why I basically continue with the opinion it is very patriarchal, and don’t really dig into if it’s technically a patriarchy.

So perhaps it's not patriarchal but still engages, culturally, in sexist practices? Not everything favouring men/sexist has to be related to a patriarchy, after all.

Depends on the practice.

What practices are patriarchal enough that warrant describing the nation as a patriarchy? Rather than, say, sexist attitudes towards women?

Of the top of my head feudalism & honour culture.

Honour culture I can sort of understand, but... Feudalism? How is that patriarchal?

It was in practice because women of every class were required to obey the men of that class.
