Let's discuss this ROK article: Is Patriarchy really a superior social system? Why or why not?

We needn't be defending patriarchy in the modern context so I don't see the point. The old system is setup to get men to sacrifice their lives for women. It's worth defending in hostile environments where survival is on the line but not in modern societies where gender roles can simply be matters of personal choice.

It makes sense to defend it's past usage for practical reasons but not in the present.

While the breakdown of the family unit and the ensuing chaos did coincide almost exactly with the rise of feminism, one immediate problem with Patriarchy I can think of right off the top of my head is the overbearing pressure on a man to be a provider. What if he dies, or suffers a critical injury or illness? Patriarchy places all the earning eggs in one basket. Does anyone have solutions to these sorts of problems?

Return Of Kings is fundamentally insane. And this article particularly is one giant "I hate Enlightenment Civilization, its fundamentally unnatural, feminism is a tool of evil capitalist modernity, let's go back to the caves and keep our women at the stove while we go out and slaughter buffallo WHILE WEARING SKIMPY MANLY LOINCLOTHS GAAAAAARRRR" festival.

Ironically enough the article begins by quoting Camille Paglia... a libertarian who praises modern capitalist consumerist culture and credits men with modernity.

ROK show off their Caveman bona fides in this disgusting piece. Its the kind of pining for the perfect past which I usually expect to come from the environmentalists... it also quotes Jack Donovan, self-proclaimed advocate of 'paleomasculinity.'

If they want their paleolithic lifestyle, fine. Let them. Let them beat their chest and die without modern medical care... or die of boredom without their PC and playstation. Nature is beautiful when viewed in Full HD on the Discovery Channel but its Nasty, Brutish and Short when you're living in it.

Return Of Kings: Fully forgetting that back in the past where Men Were Men and Women Were Chained To The Stove, very few men were kings and almost all men were serfs.
