I just lost all will to respond to someone and had to share their comment. Here is the relevant part:

The oligarchy itself is patriarchal. Just count the number of female world leaders.

If we live in a patriarchy, it’s a very gynocentric patriarchy. There are lots of programs to help women. No one is stopping women from being leaders.

You heard it here first: patriarchy is all about women!

yeah female wasn’t the best choice of word in my original comment

    Let’s change a few words to underline how asinine that response was.

    “If we live in a capitalist society, it’s a very socialist capitalist society. There are lots of programs to help low-income people. No one is stopping the non-wealthy from being leaders.”

    There isn’t much of a practical difference between “not stopping” someone and creating unfair conditions that make things unnecessarily difficult.
