The second half of a longer conversation where three men (including me, David Chambers and Alex Holmes) discuss what the patriarchy actually is. We discuss the concepts of patriarchy as a form of power, more specifically ideological power, that is intangible, but can be observed in how it harmfully impacts the lives of women.
As always, it would be wonderful to hear your feedback or to hear your thoughts on the discussion.
