Indeed, this patriarchy thing is a slippery foe. Children must be raised without fathers because patriarchy, women must be taught to call a sidelong glance rape because patriarchy, schools must be staffed exclusively by women because patriarchy, men must be relegated to dangerous tasks with no women even seeking those jobs because patriarchy, and heads of state must be elected whose husbands are serial rapists and whose rivals say “pussy”, because patriarchy.

If there is ever the least chance that a man might make a decision any woman would find objectionable, or that an employer base its hiring policies on ability to get things done rather than hiring women for hiring women’s sake, or that a social-media empire be unable to find enough women to satisfy quotas it has been pressured into adopting, this must be immediately addressed with slogans, slutwalks and false allegations, because patriarchy.

Men are not the heads of their households (of course) because patriarchy. Women are sentenced to a lesser degree to equivalent crimes committed by men because patriarchy. Colleges are graduating increasing majorities of women because patriarchy. The Leader of the Free World has abolished women’s original safe spaces, because patriarchy. Eight-year-old boys are given dolls to play with and trained to believe they are actually girls if they feel like it, because patriarchy.

Et cetera.
