https://becauseits2015.wordpress.com/2016/10/16/why-i-reject-the-term-patriarchy/
I've divided definitions of patriarchy into those that make stronger claims and those that make weaker claims (that I consider at least more reasonable). Are there other distinctions between definitions of patriarchy that you think are useful to consider?
What do you think of my reasons for rejecting the term "patriarchy" under even the weaker definitions? Do you think that using patriarchy as the word for our system of gender implies that the defining feature of our system of gender is the fact that most people in power are men?
What do you think about the implications of responding to men's issues with "that's just because of patriarchy"?
