> some vaguely imagined (and mostly non-existent) "patriarchy"

Thanks for saying that out loud! I could give you a hug just for that! :-D

IMO feminism uses the "patriarchy" like the Church used the Devil: an imaginary "bogeyman" to project any evil onto, instead of facing the real issues.

Regarding the article, we have a different take, and that's fine. It might be subjective interpretation.

You're welcome. Ditto for me, too. :-)
