When I read the words The Patriarchy it always transmutes to The Illuminati in my head. Both are mysterious, ineffable and ultimately illusory. You my dear are a Platonic cave dweller, at least in that regard.

to disabuse you of such ideas. Perhaps afterwards you might reconsider the concept of The Patriarchy in light of it's contents. Also you might consider who ultimately benefits from the notion that you have been fed, and who loses from it?
