When the patriarchs go to far

They are in danger of revealing all the strings and mechanisms that cause the patriarchal system to function.

Ideally partriarchy wants to keep you on tenterhooks: "If only I just yield a little more of my values and interests, perhaps it will give me security and prosperity."

Patriarchy needs to maintain a level of uncertainty about whether something that appears to be meanspirited actually has a benevolent side.

Then along comes a troll and spoils the subtle effect that patriarchy has been for so long creating.
