"Patriarchy is so ubiquitous and so devious that even people and organizations who oppose it in theory can end up colluding with it. We experience it as a relapsing illness. Some of its symptoms, which are most observed in workplaces, include:
- The belief that there is one right way of doing everything, and we alone know what it is
-Expecting others to just 'deal with' conditions and expectations they deem unfair or harmful
-Individualistic rather than collective notions and expressions of leadership
-Fear of vulnerability and intimacy
-Commitment to inflexible hierarchy
-Power hoarding
-Prioritizing performance and production over care and protection"
~ Philip Agnew and Marcus Littles

The Bible Study Guys at The Coffee Shop and many others are more likely to listen to men when they have a problem with patriarchal oppression due to various cultural messages they've received throughout their lives.
