@Zardoz @ILoveBlueSky @prisondoc This is where I actually picked up the rest of the conversation from before. I disagree/caution with this Jay-est engrandizing of the concepts to "kings and queens", and self-selecting oneself into nobility-label isn't helpful.
"man of the house", "master", "patron"
there is only one patriarchy and that is the lord father, it's not a model in that sense. and yes, it's about absolute rule
