Reading Confucian texts, you might get the impression—if you were raised in the classically liberal Christian tradition as I was—that these old men in the past were extreme misogynists and patriarchy was oh so evil. We see, in Korea, Japan and China, what happens when particularly Asian women, but clearly others as well, are untethered from patriarchal control. Thanks women studies depts across the world for giving us this handy vocabulary. Let all men rejoice in the healthy social arrangement of patriarchy!
