Patriarchy isn't fixed by appointing female patriarchs
Matriarch is the word you are looking for. :3
Not really, since we're still talking about women holding a patriarchal position in a patriarchal system.
Hmmm. Does that make sense? I’m confused. I guess if we kept the same system, just had a woman in charge?
Like, this is basically the mistake that "girlboss feminism" makes. just because you're putting a woman in a high position that formerly only a man could have occupied, you don't actually fix the oppressive system as a whole. the system of patriarchy is about more than just no women in high offices.
