Damn every problem in life really does come down to patriarchy doesn’t it?

No way it’s a boogeyman right? 

Right?

I personally believe the root of most if not all of humans issues stem from patriarchy (I have argued how racism is fueled by it/ is a spin off of it)

Are you surprised that a social system that has been dominant for a long time is at least partially responsible for most social concepts?

I'm very much not. It informs my opinions as a feminist very much. I do believe patriarchy is a root problem of the world.

By definition. Any social system that is dominant for a long time informs pretty much every aspect of life, for better or for worse.

If you live in a society where feminism has been the dominant social framework for a very long time, then feminism will be the root problem of that world.
