Slightly off topic, but I think many woke American feminists think that America is ruled by a patriarchy which disrespects women and tries to keep them down.
The posted story is about a different culture. Which seems to disrespect women and tries to keep them down. The people who seem shocked by how the money was spent seem to have grown up in the American culture. Which is an indication that the American culture respects women and is happy to see them get ahead. But other cultures don’t. So maybe America isn’t such a patriarchy after all.
Ironically, America is a matriarchy. Good luck on getting married and raising children nowadays. You'll get screwed in the divorce court. That said, yes, the POTUS is a man but that's only because women would rather vote for someone like Joe Biden than Hillary Clinton.
