Do you believe patriachy is an organised scheme to subdue women to men's domination?

It is a theme often used by militant feminists to discredit any male opinion on feminism. Do those who read me have any thoughts about it?

@Elandra77: Very interesting article, I think I will read it again to take more information from it in. I discussed a similar mythological take on feminism by the British university professor. It kind of worries me that so much effort is put in intellectualising feminism rather than looking at practical issues such as parental leaves, childcare, protection of career progression after maternity leaves etc...It seems to me that maternity plays a bigger role in depriving women of having fair treatments than the gender of gods in Persian mythology.
