Questions I have asked a philosophical feminist

http://justice-everywhere.org/general/level-playing-fields-a-misguided-complaint-about-discrimination-against-well-off-women/

How are you going to decide which women belong to which class?

Wouldn't it be simpler to restore the patriarchy and let women choose their husbands in a society where men are more marriageable and likely to take their marriage vows seriously because they want to parent their legitimate offspring properly?

Would you agree that Western malaise can be traced to feminism and the pill which caused the Sex Revolution?

Would you agree that the West is a matriarchy? (A matriarchy is a society that prioritises the preferences of unmarried mothers who casually conceived and casually parented their illegitimate offspring. All advanced civilisations are patriarchies and all primitive, declining, extinct and soon to be extinct societies are matriarchies. To discover that your society is a matriarchy is to discover that your society has cancer. The perfect patriarchy - 100% married parents. The perfect matriarchy - 100% unmarried parents.)

Would you agree that men and women who want become married parents or stay married parents in order to properly parent their legitimate offspring would be happier if their society were a patriarchy so that the preferences of married parents would be prioritised?

Would you agree that feminism operates by bribing and distracting men with extramarital sex to keep them quiescent under the oppression of their matriarchy?

Would you agree that in a matriarchy, all men are lower in status to the unmarried mother, including POTUS? (In a closely fought election, you can be your bottom dollar that President Trump will not be criticising the morals of unmarried mothers whose offspring are the source of the Western malaise of degeneracy.)

Would you agree that most Western men and most women now have no prospect or intention of becoming married parents?

Would you say that it is the feminist agenda to destroy the institution of marriage in order to destroy the patriarchy which it equates with domestic violence?

Do you as a feminist support the undermining of the institution of marriage as part and parcel of the feminist goal?

Would you agree that feminism is a product of atheism?

Will my questions be answered by this feminist moral philosopher?

My paper on why feminists should *wholeheartedly* embrace policies that support care and care-givers, finally out in open access:
http://www.jpe.ox.ac.uk/papers/the-feminist-argument-against-supporting-care/

Claire Khaw 
Any chance of summing it up in a sentence?

Anca Gheaus 
Yes, although only in a very long one:
"Even if care-supporting policies mean that the association between women and care will be strengthened, and that as a result some women will enjoy fewer opportunities for great jobs, we should still support care; that's because, first, in unjustly unequal societies like ours some of these great jobs are rewarded in excess of what is just and should disappear; and, second, because only a small minority of people have access to great jobs - there is no real meritocracy to start with; care-supporting policies, on the other hand, benefit the vast majority of women."

Claire Khaw 
What are "care-supporting policies"? 
When you say "care supporting policies", do you mean patriarchy? 
 When you say "the association between men and women will be strengthened", do you mean "more men and women will marry before having children and stay together for the sake of their children"?

Anca Gheaus
You can read the paper, or this blog post: https://northernnotes.leeds.ac.uk/feminism-for-working-class-women-is-the-best-feminism/

Claire Khaw 
I see that you identify as feminist. What would you say are the fundamental principles of feminism?
Is feminism compatible with morality?
How would you define morality?
How would you define patriarchy?
How would you define matriarchy?
Is the West a matriarchy?
