of the patriarchy' or 'not part'. The patriarchy is society. Its the way people (men and women and childnre) live, the way we act,the things we do. All of us. Each and every one.

And I'm genuinely puzzled as to how you can beligerently ignore all attempts to explain it to you. Society is a patriarchy. We all live in it. Not everyone strives to uphold it, not even all men. Not all men benefit from it. Not all women are upset about it. Men are not the enemy. Not all men are potential rapists. It is very clear that you don't want a discussion.
