In the fall of 2016 those promoting patriarchal ideals saw their champion Donald Trump elected president of the United States and showed us how powerful patriarchy still is in American society and culture.

Feminism is not an issue of women only, or a battle of women versus men - it is the key ethical movement of our age.
