The basic Argument for the Existence (as opposed to the Non-Existence) of a "Patriarchy" is:

"¿What else could it be?" Which is exactly what I ask myself when I see pictures of controlled deomolition, or when I try to imagine who, other than flesh-eating Lizards from Outer Space, could be in charge of U.S. foreign policy. But which does not mean that I believe in the existence of "Patriarchy."
