It depends on what you mean by "patriarchy". If we use patriarchy as it is defined here:
en.wikipedia.org
Then yes, patriarchy still exists in the United States. It is no longer explicitly supported by a legal framework which disenfranchises women, but there are nevertheless legal flaws which oppress both men and women, and those flaws could be traced back to the patriarchal nature of Western society.
nah, that sounds like a flawed definition.
If it has no legal authority then it is empty.
Assuming one has free will then there should be no reason why anyone will be forced to follow any "cultural norm".
It looks like feminism is a distraction of marxism.
It was.
into the garbage it goes
Not an argument.
You are completely ignoring how patriarchy can manifest socially and culturally outside of a strictly legal context. Just because patriarchal norms are no longer codified in the legal system, that does not mean they simply no longer exist. That's as asinine a view as saying that homophobia or discrimination against LGBTQI people no longer exist in the United States simply Obergefell v. Hodges effectively instituted marriage equality nationwide.
Doesn't exist.
sam harris pls
...
Who gives a shit about marriage equality? Gays, before they got domesticated by liberals, wanted nothing of that sort, they were against the family as such like all of us communists.
Go back to tumblr.
I think he was just using it as an example. Anyways, marriage should be abolished.
