    Well the term patriarchy is derived from patriarch. Which was meant to mean the male leader of a family. Leo hasn't got a family yet, he isn't even married yet even though he is nearly 50. As such he does not conform to regular patriarchal values. A celebrity who could be deemed a patriarch in the old sense of the word would need to be married to a woman, for a long time at that and have several children. Before his divorce in 2011, Mel Gibson could have applied to the term. He had 7 children and was with his first wife for around thirty years. He since had two more children in subsequent relationships.

     

    A patriarch is a "male head of a family or a tribe". :Amelie_wft:

     

    You can reasonably argue that Leo has a huge tribe of women ;)  (and BTW, good for him, he deserves it)

     

    If your definition of the patriarchy is so strict, you're welcome to debunk all the feminists/teenagers who scream "patriaaaarchy" all the time :laugh:

     

    The West is not a patriarchal system. Welcome to the anti-woke team, my friend! I'm glad you finally woke up (sorry for the pun, I couldn't resist)

    It's more you playing the manly victim card again and again. And maybe you're right. Maybe you feel like a victim. But guess what? It's nothing unusual because most of us do.

     

    You're not paying attention. I don't feel like a victim, I literally told you that the oppressor/oppressed matrix is not an accurate one. The only thing that matters to me is having the most faithful representation of social dynamics. Nothing more.

    Maybe you should stand up and write a book since that's apparently the only media you trust

     

    It's not the only media I trust. I said there's a gradation of trustworthiness and Hollywood is not at the top... but historical books are way higher.

    Also, when in all of human history has it ever been better to be poor than rich?

     

    Never (though nowadays, thanks to technological breakthroughs, the middle class has standards of living that are higher than even the nobles' in the 16th century).

     

    In any case, your words confirm what I said: pointing fingers at the "straight white male" as the ultimate culprit (aka scapegoat) is a modern fallacy: a poor white man as it harder than a rich woman. That's all I'm saying.

    I didn't use these words. That's your prejudices talking.
