Then why use the label "Patriarchy"? It has a very specific meaning that I don't feel applies to many western societies and definitely not to the sociatal structure and norms that we happen to live in, regardless of who is in charge. I think we agree on everything but the term.

I hate this way of putting it, especially because it puts the blame on a single gender. It's not JUST men who shoehorn people into gender roles, we all do it.
It's off putting to me and I tend to dismiss the entire thing because it basically says that men being bad also hurts men. Had it said that men also are victims of gender roles I would immediately agree, and I can't imagine that I'm the only one who feels this way.
By that reasoning the nukes dropped over Japan is but an insignificant moment in history and of no importance what so ever.

We got to spend a lot of time with the then two year old, but hardly saw each other except for the back of the head because one of us was always working. What was your corona project? Surviving, that's what!
Why were the doors locked though? These people came expecting a horribly bland experience, but got LOTR instead! WIN!
Now imagine a girl doing the same and you won't think twice about it.
Girls are people too!
Oh, he'll just change the unit test if it fails.

Who would have thought that a box of all things would be a useful cat repellant.
