    It's incredible how he just refuses to see any nuance here. Of course there are plenty of aspects of patriarchy that capitalism has swept away. Capitalism radically changes social relations, that's Marx's point I think. And the relations between men and women have been radically changed - some for the better! But how does Zizek go from that to thinking patriarchy isn't a problem anymore, I have no idea.

      He seems to be deliberately conflating "patriarchy" as in the class relations of primitive agrarian society with "patriarchy" as in the institutionalized sexism that persisted in subsequent modes of production.
