Are We Living in a Patriarchy? (Jordan Peterson vs. Angela Nagle)

50%

This video will ask the question “Do we live in a patriarchy?” In order to answer the question we examine the ideas of three different cultural critics: Angela Nagle, Jordan Peterson, and Nina Power.

Is Capitalism a patriarchal institution? Will we be free of it if we get rid of Dad?
