I saw a thread awhile ago along the lines of "Do you Believe in the Patriarchy?" but never posted.
Now a few other threads have got me wondering.
I accept that we live in a society which is, amongst other things, male-centric and that society as it stands offer certain groups advantages over others and that in general males would be one of the benefitting groups.
But sometimes I read posts that seem to suggest some people feel it is more than this, almost a concious entity that is designed and committed to a very clear purpose of oppressing women, rather than just the often subconcious continuation of embedded social norms
What am I missing?
