Angela Saini is back with another book that is possibly going to destroy a lot of people’s conception about how the world is supposed to be run and by whom …

Well, probably mainly white men like myself will be challenged by her latest, men, who have been conditioned that this particular ideology of patriarchy is the only way things can work out best for everyone involved.

Angela’s excellent follow up to “Superior” and “Inferior”, “The Patriarchs” , will show us how men came to rule and why the heck they are still driving the bus (although said bus has been heading towards a gigantic iceberg for a long time!).

Food for thought and action will be provided today, and I do hope young men - who think Jordan Peterson is their daddy - will throw out the disgraced Canadian shrink’s simplistic and offensive garbage and READ ANGELA’S BOOK (ALL CAPS!)!

Before I start to main-splain what the patriarchy is, I will close this window because I can read the room, and I shall dive into the text, looking forward to Angela providing us with nourishing context.

Perhaps in our life time we will see this awful system finally dismantled or at least crumbling?

This middle aged Drax puts all his hope into the young ones, who seem to (by and large) not buy the crap men of my and previous generations were fed by parents, the media and everyone else all around us, explicitly or structurally embedded.
