People always talk about importance of patriarchy for social replication of capitalism, about how capitalism is always going to buck against any attempts at social progress. But I dunno, neoliberalism has been pretty effective at integrating some forms of feminism and gay rights into its polite society, so I feel at some point a lot of bigotry isn't so much material relations, but just a thing of habit...

So I guess my question is, what exactly are those material conditions and why are they making people reactionary on social issues?
