He’s, shall we say, not forthcoming on some subjects. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I think the world has changed in the last 30 years and patriarchal power is on the way out. Already gone in many quarters. These are very disturbing changes to lots of people. Lots of people express their dissatisfaction with those changes in 'moral' terms. I think Larry is one of them.

I'm not sure i know what "patriarchal power" really means. I know you briefly described this previously.

Trying to engage in a rational discussion about those issues is pretty hard because most of the arguments which supported patriarchy don't have traction anymore.

There are places where everyone is uncomfortable in discussion, especially on a public forum and I’m okay with that; but being willing to assert something while refusing to provide a rational explanation is another thing.

I don't understand what you mean by that.
