It’s Time to Ask: Is the ‘Patriarchy’ a Feminist Myth?

Article here. Excerpt:

'UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres resorted to harsh rhetoric as he denounced what he called the “poison of patriarchy,” categorically claiming that opponents to gender uniformity are happy to “throw equality to the wolves.”

Addressing the UN Commission on the Status of Women, Guterres was referring to the fact that women currently hold 27% of seats in national parliaments worldwide, a number that appears to be impervious to the usual nostrums of gender equality activists.

Guterres is a life-long socialist. And according to Marxist theory, men and women should be seen as interchangeable in their ambitions and interests.

But reality paints a different picture. Multiple surveys show that around the world, women consistently prioritize family and relationships over political ambition.

And experience reveals that male lawmakers consistently favor women in the laws they pass. in 1994, for example, mostly male legislators voted to approve the American “Violence Against Women Act.”'
