I dont mind patriarchal family units, but to argue for it as a social model for the 21st Western society is naive and one-sided conception of history. Not to mention it is incompatible with Democracy, (Even though there is no universally accepted definition of 'democracy', there are two principles that any definition of democracy includes. The first principle is that all members of the society have equal access to power and the second that all members enjoy universally recognized freedoms and liberties.)
