It's an example of people abusing the power, not the system.
We wouldn't be sending any random 11 out to play cricket for Australia.
This is something that some are not willing to accept or are just too naive to understand it.
Yes patriarchy 'allows' abuse of power, like any hierarchy.
But that does not make the actual hierarchy bad, and as much as the 'allowance' is bad that doesn't take away from the fact that hierarchy are absolutely necessary, they're all around us and everywhere that humans and other mammals are.
It's not up for debate in my mind.
