What is wrong with the definition of patriarchy as provided here?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriarchy#Feminist_theory

A society without patriarchy (or matriarchy or any form of sex-based hierarchy) would be an egalitarian society with respect to gender roles, relations between the sexes, and socially constructed conceptions of gender and sex.

I'm watching the video linked in the original post and thus far, it seems promising. If it is, I'll recommend that.


Patriarchy is a specific manifestation of that oppression as it relates to sex, gender, and social conceptions thereof. Simply stating that "society oppresses me" is not very meaningful nor is it a specific and useful critique. Patriarchy is a specific system which oppresses people in society in specific ways, hence why it is used. It is for that same reason that the class analysis and economic critique of Marxism is more useful than simply saying "society oppresses me".

That's my point. You can ignore it all you want, but you nevertheless participate in it and you are affected by it. This is true for the exploitative nature of productive relations in capitalism, and it is true for the oppressive nature of patriarchy in society.


Congratulations, you get my point. Refer above.

I think that definition is relatively coherent.
Why? The lack of these can come about from places other than patriarchy. Define what would count as egalitarian gender roles.
Why are these a problem for equality? Also, bring evidence that such things are 'socially constructed'.

Seems like we are dealing with a Kyriarchy that isn't based on sex then. Hmm I wonder if peoples, both male and female, relations to the means of production might have anything to do with it.

So it's codified then?

No, it's not. You can't "ignore" being hungry or slaving like you can ignore a bigot.

Is this a different type of our patriarchy?

Homosexuals and lesbians have had the same rights regarding marriage as anyone else since there was such a thing as marriage.

patriarchy is spook. patriarchy is a spook for the people who accepted (man and woman) but not to the feminist. feminism is her spook. the existence of the patriarchy as spock does not validate the feminist theory.
equally that atheist could destroy the religion but the not the spook the feminist maybe could destroy patriarchy but not the spook the feminist struggle is condened to create a new type of gender roles, gender hierarchy and gender opresion.
