Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team Thinking about alternatives to today’s patriarchal society is more relevant now than ever. Indeed, there are all kinds of indications that patriarchy has entered the final stage of its existence. I therefore refer to the present time as the late patriarchy.
