I would argue that civilization itself originated with patriarchy.
In the absence of patriarchy ("rule by fathers"), you have young men doing as they please, having no interest in marriage or in the children they procreate. You have young women getting impregnated by guys who show no interest in raising the children they spawn. Essentially, you have the current "inner city" culture.
Under patriarchy, you have fathers instilling values into their sons, and discouraging "unsuitable" guys from going near their daughters. The patriarch is motivated to build assets that he passes down to his descendents.
Well, patriarchy in any form offends the sensibilities of liberals. Girls have the right to go on their slut walks and get free birth control and don’t want men to tell them what to do.
Society itself may be breaking down. Maybe in the next generation, the entire culture will be like inner-city “ghetto” culture. But according to liberal ideology, nothing can be done against some of these trends, because then you interfere with a woman’s body and all that. Not to mention we have to instill self-esteem and give equal rights to sexually confused trans-whatever peoples and all that.
Carried to the next level, nobody has a right to tell anyone what to do about anything.
The veneer of civilization is thin, and getting thinner.
