It seems the author points out that the patriarchal rule was very much in place in the 50’s and still is in place, but that rewards aren’t as forthcoming in the new run-amok corporate system.

Hence maybe related to your “men going on shooting sprees” now — although I see no straight correlation from one to the other.

Bottom line: men, in their blazing ego insecurity, hold on to power with desperation and are always the ones who maintain prisons - from the military to the psychological.

As the author summed up: "Wake, TF up, Man."

(That “you agree with me” is hysterically absurd. The arrogance of the “Good” that follows—silly in its arrogance.)
