"Mainly that our society is somehow intelligently designed to put men in charge and that it’s not a mix of biology and random happenstance that got us where we are today." i don't believe anyone thinks this a or that anyone cares if we're here by accident of history or by intention. "It also implies that men actually are in charge. Some men may be but the vast majority are not." of course, and the vast majority of women aren't in charge either, but the topic has been gender roles, not who's in charge. recall that i was questioning the claim that patriarchy is a misnomer because it's bad for men too. the subject at hand is gender roles and gender expectations. "If incarceration and university enrollment numbers are examined, it might even look like men as a class are the oppressed not the oppressors." yes, patriarchy is bad for men. and if you look at the number of people murdered by their spouse it also looks pretty oppressive to women. that's the point, patriarchy is oppressive to everyone.
