I continue to use the dictionary definition. Without legal enforcement there is no patriarchy.

  lmao. I guess there's no institutional racism, or homophobia, either?

    Misogyny is the word you're looking for. That exists, patriarchy doesn't. Just like slavery is illegal but racism exists, gay marriage is legal but homophobia exists, there is no patriarchy but misogyny exists.

      Slavery still exists though, even though it is illegal (not saying anything about western patriarchy).
