In the views of society men are more superior then women. As we have defined as Patriarchy; a system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it. Men are socialized into patriarchal masculinity and whereas women are into femininity. Society’s patriarchy says its “okay” to support the male power, it helps make the systems of domination seem normal. “The patriarchal view is to support male dominance all the way”(Jenson 2014).Gender also plays a huge role within society. Gender is more of an open idea it may or may not depend in biological traits whereas sex is “the biological traits that societies use to assign people into the category of either male or female, whether it be through a focus on chromosomes,

As we all are aware of more of the obvious places where patriarchy and gender roles are shown; workplace, parenting, etc. Society sets double standards of sexuality –meaning women being criticized for having sex when a man would not be. On an average basis women and men do the same job but why is it that men earn more than a women. In my opinion men just earn more cause of their masculinity, they seem to be more deserving. Some common jobs for men are software developer, computer engineer, project manager construction. Whereas women are in the medical field or teach at schools as teachers.

I believe in everyone being treated the same every sex, race, gender, age all of these should be accountable to be seen as equal in society. I also believe in feminism and that all women should get equal pay for the same work men do.
