Yes, the patriarchy is truly dead. One example alone proves this when feminist thinking or feminist learning is the most popular and dominant belief system when it comes to gender issues. This favoured social belief system overrides any consideration for male issues or consideration for exposing female privilege.

Anyone who opposes feminist theory in the mainstream is likely to get abused and attacked as shown in this story.

So much for a gender that's supposed to be treated as an underclass. Why isn't this evil patriarchy stopping or over powering this strong influential popularism on feminist theory that overrides any consideration for men due to the nature of it's social power?

That'll be why they've taken Top Gear off the telly, then.

Are you looking for evidence that patriarchy exists at all, or that it is damaging to the majority of people?

I’m presuming it’s not that you require evidence for the inherent unjustness of patriarchy as a system, as any system that privileges one group over another due to a random assignment of birth characteristics (in this case, maleness) is unjust by definition. But arguments have been made for the possibility of benevolent unjustness, so perhaps you are looking for evidence of its malevolence?

It is an undeniable fact that political systems the world over are dominated by men far in excess of anything approaching a 50/50 or even a 60/40 ratio. In the private sphere men nearly always have more power over family finances and thus decision-making. That’s certainly neither an egalitarian nor a matriarchal way of organizing society, is it?

Patriarchy is a social system which has accumulated over time and which relies upon intersecting inequities, not just sexist inequities, but the gender imbalance is staring us all in the face when it comes to social power structures.
