The western world hates PATRIARCHY and the church ignores it. By this are we sinning?

Since men have willingly given up their power the only thing that can change it is a reassertion of definite power. There is no will as of yet to do as such, therefore we can only but continue down this emasculated trajectory.
I alone call it equal treatment under God's law.
I discovered the "equal treatment" commanments
though my own studies. Men have aways ignored the
equality implications of golden rule. Even the apostles
never caught on to why Jesus treated women equally.
It upset them greatly and they confronted Jesus for His "daft" behavior.

46 hYou did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, iwhich are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And he said to her, j“Your sins are forgiven.” 49 Then those who were at table with him began to say among8 themselves, k“Who is this, who even forgives sins?” 50 And he said to the woman, l“Your faith has saved you; mgo in peace.”

Yes, men do leave their wives and abandon their families.

I mistakenly though people knew this:
Yes, men do leave their spouses and abandon their families.
My question remains unanswered. Go re-read it a couple of times, interpret the sentence thoroughly and then get back to me.

Some think that patriarchy is about power. But I think it is about responsibility and it is the system directed in the Bible. But we have stepped away from patriarchy. Is that a sin and why does the church avoid this topic?

The God-given authority of a man, it has been misused and squandered away. Maybe the smoky ruins of the patriarchy are deserved considering that men have engaged in too many great and terrible wars and men have created bombs that can literally destroy the entire planet. Obviously, men cannot be trusted. The baby boomer generation became most aware of this post World War I and World War II, and especially considering the aftermath of the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan. I think our corrupt and terrible power has rendered us afraid of what confronts us in the honest mirror. So we close our eyes and surrender to our sad self-demasculaton. Running the gauntlet we go. Rampant divorce. Immorality. Abortion. And is that great slaughter of the unborn any less brutal than all the great wars combined? No, it is an even greater sin as far as the numbers go. Here are some numbers that will blow your mind:

World War II (the Great War) - 70 to 85 million deaths
All wars in the 20th century - between 108 and 203 million deaths
Abortions worldwide since 1980 - 1.5 billion deaths

Looking at these numbers, that means that there have been between 7.38 and 13.88 times more deaths by abortion than by all wars in the 20th century. If such big numbers are too abstract for you, lets just look at some numbers specific to the United States.

All USA wars combined - 1.1 million deaths
Abortions in the USA since Roe v Wade - 62 million deaths
Planned Parenthood since 1970 has killed 8.9 million babies

But with abortions the blood runs down a timid sink rather than in the open streets as in war and nothing goes BOOM. To empower the women to take the lead we must be willing to slaughter the unborn. It is the only way, for abortion is that great equalizer among the sexes. And hooray for Gay Pride. After all, why not, we certainly deserve that for our cowardice and God forsaken ways. The number of women having babies out of wedlock is skyrocketing. The honored place of wife and mother is rapidly being reduced to "my baby's mama", and that's okay just don't interrupt my secret click and scroll on my unusual and delicious digital date. Of course the devil will take our women now! Adam did not protect Eve from the sly serpent. We are no wiser.

As men have shunned their God-given authority and responsibilities, a new power fills the expanding voids and takes over. What is this power? Liberalism. Consumerism. Socialism. Globalism.

Is there anything that we can do, or will only the Second Coming put things in order?

Patriarchy isn't the way of the Bible, and it's not the way of the Christian Church.

Broken statements which don't mean anything in the context of our conversation then. Still haven't answered my original question btw.
I answered it to the best of my ability.
I only raised two of my wife's four children.

No, you didn't answer the question. You avoided it, probably because the answer is embarrassing for your daughters and undermines your condemnation of the Church.

Ah...you assume deceit on others. Let me know how that turns out.

The west is in terminal decline, these first world ideologies are just symptoms of that. We can argue about them ad nauseum but nothing will change the fact that we are no longer the flavor of the month nor the flavor of the next 500 years.

Can we point out who is doing well at least?
Still avoiding the question.
I answered it to the best of my knowledge.

So you literally don't know the circumstances behind your daughters being single Mothers and yet you blame the Church for not doing what exactly?
