Anytown, USA -- Tens of millions of white males are questioning how they can become part of The Patriarchy that runs everything in the United States. Nearly every news outlet, college professor, and person in Hollywood has been notifying Americans for years that a patriarchy is running everything in this country to keep white males in control.
The People's Cube interviewed several white males around the country and all were confused as to what "The Patriarchy" is and how they are deriving any benefit from it.
As Pete Anderson, an electrician from Woodbridge, NJ, stated "I don't really know anything about any 'patriarchy.' Is it like the Freemasons or something? I work 65 hours every week to support my family and it doesn't seem like I get any sort of break or free stuff for being a white dude. Is that really a thing? Can they do anything about my taxes or inflation?"
John "Jimbo" Strickens, a barber from Sacramento, CA, was unaware of how pervasive this power structure was. He said "I didn't realize all the white folks had organized us into this oppressive patria-whatever. Are you sure that's real? I was never asked to join it or anything. In the strip mall where my shop sits, my landlord is a woman. She owns all 6 units - the whole building. She must be some kind of super-woman if she did all that, with this patria-thingy trying to stop her all the time. She seems pretty ordinary to me. Guess you never can tell, eh?"
Others had questions about joining the patriarchy, as several high-ranking managers of the company they worked at were women or minorities. A complaint often heard was that white males were regularly passed over for promotions, a fact that particularly rankled Ethan Fredericks. He is currently a detailer at Wade Ford, a large car dealership in Smyrna, GA. As he put it "I just want to get into sales - that's where the money is. I've put in for it six times in the last 3 years, but every time they give it to woman or black guy and they usually have less seniority than me. How do I get in touch with this Patriarchy? I'm not trying to oppress anyone, but can I at least get considered for the next sales position?"
