Patriarchy
● Patriarchy is a system run by and for men
, ● Women denied representation and underrepresented in formal positions
of power in the state

expectation of women’s appearances through culture

allowed to fully explore feelings

do with the rest of society. Private issues:

except child bearing
● No such thing as male or female characteristics
● Character differences between males/females are due to nurture not
nature
● Women should want to remove gender roles and take equal place in
society alongside men
Difference feminist
