Thanks for explaining. I do think we live in a patriarchy, but various patriarchal aspects are heavily promoted and enforced by other women. I truly believe the beauty industry would die out tomorrow if women stopped supporting it. If men were upset at all, they'd get over it quickly.

I agree. I recently realised that, even though I dismiss the patriarchy and see society as an emergent phenomenon, we are still talking about the same thing, and just differ on how it came to be.
