The author of the book "The End of Men" on how the patriarchy is dead:"most of the resistance to the idea that men have ceased to be the dominant sex has come from women—not from working-class women, who seem to find what I’m describing painfully familiar, if not totally obvious, but from women in the college, professional class. There comes a point in nearly every book event I’ve done when a little feminist revolt stirs inside the crowd...
“Let’s call it what it is: THE PATRIARCHY.” This was a comment from a young woman at an event I was moderating...
“Can you say that word? PATRIARCHY?” This woman was not gunning for a laugh; she was dead serious, and pretty angry. She looked to be 30 or so, and from the way she spoke seemed well-educated—the type of woman I portray in the book as benefiting from the new era of female dominance, when women are better prepared for the current economy and have more independence to choose their life path...
This is when I knew I was dealing with some irrational attachment to the concept of unfair...
It’s elite feminists like my questioner and me who cling to the dreaded patriarchy just as he is walking out of our lives."
