It is important to recall that our modern university system grew out the schools for the Scholastics, or medieval Catholic Theologians. So Patriarchy, based on Roman Law and Christian Theological tradition, was formed through the sheer amount of labor (over centuries) reflected in New Advent. The dangerous part, to me, is that this circular reasoning has so thoroughly shaped much of our current culture to the point that its absurdity and irrationality now appear to many to be 'natural' or simply 'belief'.
