The patriarchy doesn't have a problem with women having a seat at the table, as long as we parrot its line. What it finds offensive is when a woman speaks her own mind, without seeking permission, and has the audacity to speak her thoughts with confidence.

Can't call it a patriarchy when women put down women just as much.

Many women internalize the patriarchy and become its willing accomplices. In fact, sometimes with even more viciousness. "If I don't get to do it, then you don't get to do it" as opposed to "You're a sister. Let me help."

Everyone here prefers women representatives. Everyone here is horrified that MW is going to hand trump a win by pulling votes from the Dem ticket.

Your nanny state policies would be better implemented by a woman Marianne. I think America’s testosterone levels are still too high for your solutions.

We touch on Haley pulling out of debates in our news summary today. Plus lots of news coming out of Davos!

No, it's generally what comes out of your mouths as well as actions that we despise. So how about you not broadly generalize? There are quite a few women we listen to and no, they don't "parrot" anything other than the constitution and Americas values.
