To ironize something

[Hanfom]

Hello!

Is this sentence correct?
« This story ironises patriarchy ».
For context, the said story mocks this ideology by putting it in situations where its principles aren’t respected (men, who are supposed to be in power, are dominated by women for example).

Welcome to the forum.

Please post a link to a dictionary entry for the verb "ironise". Also, please provide the source and author of the quoted sentence. This is a requirement of the forum.

Sorry, it’s a typo. I meant to write : “This story ironizes patriarchy”. I am the author of the quoted sentence and I have just created it.

Here is a link to a dictionary definition (Oxford) of ironize, a new word to me.

define ironize - Google Search

The take off on "irony' is evident. So it's not all that radical.

That's a completely new one on me too. Hanfom, I wasn't necessarily doubting the existence of the word. I asked for a link to a dictionary definition because it's good for you to show us a definition that explains why you use a word the way you do.
Also, you didn't make a typo. It is "ironise" in British English and "ironize" in American English. This follows the common pattern of -ise vs -ize endings in the two variants.

Your sentence in post 1 appears to use it in the way it was intended. However, please use quotation marks to surround text, not those funny little arrow brackets. To clarify, it should look like this:

"This story ironises patriarchy."

How about satirises? I'd say the patriarchy.

How about satirises?

I would have understood that immediately. I had to look ironises up.
