A nonsensical article. Patriarchy is doomed for the simple reason that men can no longer afford to support large families. In addition, neo-liberal regimes, which depend more and more on lowering the standard of living for workers and which love a "flexible" workforce cause families to unravel in the process of chasing jobs and upward mobility. Patriarchy is also doomed because men are more fragile, biologically and emotionally, than women, and the extremely toxic/stressful modern environment is causing them to short circuit -- more mental illness, more physical illness, less ability to accept any form of discipline, less motivation to want to support large families, etc.
