I prefer to use kyriarchy ti describe/conceptualize modern western culture

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyriarchy

This is interesting. As a life-long feminist, a male, and a vulnerable person, it has always occurred to me that there is a generalization of the ideas of feminism that apply to all vulnerable people subject to the self-interested authority of others.

Damn, never heard this but it's going directly into my vocabulary.

Holy shit, Wikipedia has an article on allonormativity. 🤯

Kyriarchy encompasses sexism, racism, ableism, ageism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Catholicism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, classism, xenophobia, economic injustice, the prison-industrial complex, colonialism, militarism, ethnocentrism, speciesism, linguicism and other forms of dominating hierarchies

Anti-Catholicism? You mean the global formal hierarchy that’s solidly historically in support of fascism and against feminism? O…Kay. Why is that the literally only religion listed there? I get why you’d want to protect minority religious practices but why single out Catholicism?

Why is that the literally only religion listed there?

Actually, it's directly following Judaism and Islam, but lets not quibble.
