“The patriarchy is a child-centered society.”
They can be pretty childish, yes.
“It is interested in birth and survival rates of children,”
Just not ALL children. If it were, the patriarchy would promote school lunches for all kids, vaccinations, free medical…
"and that is why males were drafted. Male disposability led to more children.”
TEENSY bit of a hiccup, there, promoting child survivability AND drafting them for military service.
"The patriarchy comes from difficult times, it was born in hard times, it is a very social system, an efficient system, and it’s a survival mechanism.”
Tell the draftee in the foxhole that he’s there to support a survival mechanism.
I’d say the matriarchies it replaced and suppressed were better survival mechanisms, as the female motive is to actually protect and serve the kids. Patriarchies use them.
Patriarchy is a control mechanism. The Ol’ Boys grab the reins and won’t let go.
“We know it leads to successful societies”
But successful for WHOM, that’s the question. Do you remember when women couldn’t have a bank account without a male cosigner? Or when women couldn’t vote? I wouldn’t call that successful.
“And we can see this most clearly through the fact that the world’s major religions like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Confucianism all come from cultures which support the patriarchy.”
Oh, yeah! WITCH burning! Another sign of a successful (vomit icon here) society.
You tend to label societies ‘successful’ if a small group of men can rise to power over everyone else, and exclude the womenfolk, huh?
In those cases, I really don’t care how far the empire extends or how many roads they build, it’s successful like the USSR was successful. By borrowing from one aspect to prop up another, until it all crumbles.
