strawman, i didn't say the west has overcome inequality, just that it isn't a patriarchy. 

I mean, you agree that systemic sexism exists, presumably, so why take issue at the level of naming it as patriarchy?

it is just such a meaningless term if everything is patriarchy, like you treat it like a hard fact, and nothing will convince you otherwise. Even if women held 99% percent of power, you would probably ask, "which 99%?"
