Patriarchy is not noble

Patriarchy is not noble. Taking the easiest approach in life is not noble. "Well," you say, "women are weaker than me, so how can I show my strength unless I step all over them?"

A lack of skill in expressing one's power, coupled with a failure of imagination is not noble, either.

If women are really weaker than you then for you to demonstrate a lack of intellectual and physical gumption in relation to women will not demonstrate your strength.

Patriarchy is not noble.

"Well," you say, "in terms of my culture, I'm still gonna say it is."

Pick your nose and you have an oyster! -- in terms of your particular culture, that is!

Patriarchy is not strength.
