I’ve come across this view many times. It seems like it ought to be a contradiction, and I’m always surprised by how it goes unnoticed. How could a feminist be in favor of authority, unless that authority is already feminist, in which case why do you need the feminism? Yet we all apparently see it as natural for the two to go together, it kind of attests to our real beliefs about patriarchy. It doesn’t exist. More likely the social order is something along the lines of rich men versus poor men with feminists and other authoritarians living inconsequentially as useful idiots.
