I have no nostalgia for the patriarchy, please believe me. But what I have come to realize is that, when that patriarchic system was {rightfully} dismantled, it was not necessarily replaced by another form of protection. What I mean is--I never thought to ask a suitor the same challenging questions my father might have asked him, in a different age.
