I appreciate the comparison to religion and the patriarchal family. Women can take up the patriarchal role of boss but it’s still that. This also leads me to think about all the ways the white collar workplaces pretends to not be this, and in this pretension it obscures its level of control on your psyche. E.g., we’re like a “family”
Most workplaces are set up like family or religious hierarchies. Tricking women into believing this is freedom is the best scam ever.

Usually, when a job calls itself a family, they want something from you.
