Hate Of Patriarchy

Superior Essays
The Patriarchy is a social system that puts men in a position of power, often because they are men. I want to destroy it.
I don 't like the constant objectification of women. I hate the fact that a fetus has more rights than a woman because there is a chance it 'll become male. I hate the fact that in some places women are not even allowed to do anything without the supervision of a male.
I hate the idea that lesbians are perceived as male hating, but gay men are shielded from accusations of misogyny. It 's almost like male privilege works with queer people too. Gasp!
I hate that there are more men who are CEOs named Joe than all the women CEOs put together. I hate how girls are conditioned at a young age that they can 't do something

I hate that characters in books are given such double standards. Example: The unwarranted hatred of Cho Chang and Lavender Brown vs. The complete adoration of Draco Malfoy and Severus Snape. But obviously crying over the fact that your boyfriend got straight up murdered is a much worse crime than participating in the mass genocide of a group of people.
I hate a woman is judged on her looks first and if she passes that then maybe they 'll get around to judging the rest.
I hate that society sees dogs as masculine and cats as feminine. Hold on to that there 's a metaphors in there. It perfectly explains why it’s perfectly accepted to hate cats but blasphemy to dislike dogs. Not to mention how cats are somehow sexualized which is gross. Like eww. I hate the taboo around women and menstruation. How we are seen as unclean during that time. How any time we get angry or passionate men just dismiss us. "Ugh you 're on your period aren 't you. Ugh" I hate the invalidation of trans women and how they are so often overlooked when they 're the reason Stonewall even happened.
I hate that in the eyes of men women can’t do anything without being criticized. Women who have kids are called baby makers. Women who are career oriented are heartless bitches. Women who dress provocatively are sluts but women who dress conservatively are

    This gender bias is definitely one that women have to deal with more frequently compared to men. Deborah Tannen author of “There is No Unmakred Woman,” reveals that women have been predominantly “marked,” which refers to the “meaning of a word [combined with] a linguistic particle that has no meaning on its own” from the moment they enter this world (Tannen 410). Even if it’s hair, clothing, makeup or surnames, there is no style that leaves women unmarked. This causes “gender markers” to “pick up extra meanings that reflect common associations with the female gender” (Tannen 411). If a woman does even the merest action that society does not approve of, it expresses out a memo that will be judged and criticized.…

    Gender roles and stereotypes have always been an issue in society, and they still are to this day. Although feminism and woman’s rights have come so far in the past years, there is still more progress to be made and the sexist labels do not only happen to women. Having gender stereotypes, that begin when we are young, creates the platform for many of these sexist issues that women, as well as men, are still facing. The article “Why Boys Don’t Play with Dolls” written by Katha Pollitt expresses the ideas of male and female stereotypes along with feminism.…

    Gender Roles Merriam-Webster defines “stereotype” as “a standardized mental picture that is held in common by members of a group and that represents an oversimplified opinion, prejudiced attitude, or uncritical judgment”. Stereotypes can be found virtually anywhere within society. They highly impact the way people treat others, usually negatively. In the short story, Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been by Joyce Carol Oates, the main character, Connie, is subjectified due to her gender and makes poor decisions because of it. Gender stereotypes still exist in today’s society and are unlikely to disappear anytime soon due to the ideas and influences of stereotypes within the patriarchal society that existed in previous generations.…

    You are to be seen not heard; only speak when spoken to; hold your head up high, and cross your legs at the ankles when you sit. These were some of the common mores followed by women in history. They have always been seen as a lesser being, and the common idea that women are inferior to men has caused them to be denied control over their own lives. Instead, their lives are placed in the hands of men such as their husband, whom they may have been forced to marry by their father. This is just a slight example of how a female's life was under the influence of a man.…

    “Women’s Studies: A man’s perspective” offers a thoughtful and insightful viewpoint of the tribulations that may be encountered, and the advantages that may be acquired, as a result of participating in a women’s studies course as a male. Although Evan Weissman received support on his decision to complete a women’s studies course by several of his closest loved ones, others mocked him and questioned his confidence as a man. Many of those that insulted him lacked the ability and competence to recognize the positive outcomes a women’s studies course could provide. According to Weissman, most men are oblivious to the advantages and dominance they possess over women. Through women’s studies, Weissman was able to develop a strong sense of confidence in himself, and realize that the attainment of his goals was, in part, influenced by his gender.…

    In today’s world, it seems that one can see many examples of misogyny, violence, and sexism anywhere she goes. Masculinity was once something that people did not pay much mind to, but it has now become something extremely fragile. To question a man’s masculinity is probably his worst nightmare. Nowadays, that sense of manliness unfortunately causes men to put women or other men down. Works such as Jean Kilbourne’s “Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt’:…

    Opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment It seems ridiculous for the U.S not to grant equal rights to every citizen but opposition to ERA is still very real. Those who opposed ERA early on were men and women who fought for protective labor laws that treated women differently.

    For men, patriarchy is associated with masculinity and male dominance. For women, patriarchy is oppressing in a social, political, economic and psychological aspect. It also marginalizes women by defining them as a deviation from masculinity. Literary texts mirror the constructions of life and due to their impersonal nature, they allow for free discussion of societal problems. Western civilization is especially rooted in patriarchy and gender issues are extremely prominent in society and…

    The title Miss Representation is the first clue as to the content of the documentary will center on: the play on words of “misrepresentation” vs “Miss Representation” gives the sense of beauty pageant, in which women (although some pageants include contestants as young as toddlers) compete to win a superficial title based primarily on looks. The premise of the documentary is to reveals the complexities of women’s role in society, and the double standards that create the gap between the reality of women’s appearances and self-esteem, and the media portrayal of women’s bodies, which are – as the title indicates – severely misrepresented. In the film, there are several examples of the disparities between what is expected of women and the reality…

The media presents a mistaken impression on feminism, which induces the hatred towards feminists, which then only encourages these feminists to expose their hateful actions and words even more.…
