A social system in which the eldest male is considered supreme of the house is known as Patriarchy. Even the young male kids are given the authority over women because they got to learn and keep it in practice to run the dominance.
A Menâs World where they can ask for everything and they dominate in every small opportunity they get to. According to Patriarchy, the role of women is to support a man and bear children and housekeeping duties.
Have you ever given it a thought that a woman too can play a role in maintaining patriarchy knowingly/unknowingly?
She initially involves herself by accepting whatever her family decides for her is right and less troublesome.
The Legacy of Patriarchy in Families
When a woman enters a house as a newlywed where his husband earns and she does the house chores. The whole family revolves around the earner not who runs. He gets to decide on Lunch and dinner menus. A woman who was not given her basic education spends her whole life pleasing her husband and gets ready anytime to have his child. And she sees everything as it was all her fate, actually every woman's fate.
The Pattern
Women of today know the very pattern of the patriarchal loop. They recognize it before becoming a part of it. But women who have been following everything they were told to usually are not able to understand the fine pattern.
Desiring Baby Boys
We often get to see that when a girl child is born, someone out of nowhere appears and says- "Now you should have a baby boy too." A newborn kid who didn't even properly open her eyes feels the vibration of these negative thoughts.
Mothers of sons' role
Why a girl has to listen to every small mistake whilst a boy is allowed to go everywhere at any time and is forgiven already because he is the only one who is going to maintain the reputation of their parents in society.
Mothers who stay awake only for their boy child and are being taken care of by their girl child tell others how they have been burdened with the number of girl children they have.
