Truly, What is Patriarchy?

[Rafael Thundercat]

Simple and clear and direct. What is Patriachy? I am not especialist in this topic but a friend is struggling with the nuances of the topic and I would like to help her to get clear on it for once.

Patriarchy is a social system in which men hold primary power and privilege over women. It perpetuates gender inequality by reinforcing traditional gender roles and norms that often marginalize and oppress women.

   Simple and clear and direct? would this fit your conditions: Manpower, man's dominion over other men, women and children and other animals?

   Not especialist? Do you mean not a specialist?

   Why is your female friend struggling with the nuances of patriarchy? What is her ideological/political positions? What is her worldview?

   Also, why are you helping her when she has access to the internet and ChaGPT3-4, as these tools give definitions of patriarchy?

   Is patriarchy, a socially constructed system, a majority male centric primary power and privilege, only over women? What about other men, children, elders, and other social systems? Is patriarchy anymore superior or inferior than say matriarchy systems, or other tribal systems in the past?

   How does patriarchy itself perpetuates gender inequalities? Is the inequalities between the sex genders natural to begin with? Is the reinforcing of traditional gender roles, and other traditional social roles and norms, not good in earlier social developments? How does this often marginalizes and oppresses women, and only women? Is this your presumption based off of what the OP has posted?

   Depending on the context, and based on many factors like SD stages of development, cognitive and moral development, personality types/traits, states of consciousness, 9 stages of ego development, life experiences and other lines of development, and other ideological indoctrinations and upbringing from culture, and self biases and preferences, why is it that patriarchy only bad and not good even in the face of relativity?

I tried to be concise and deliver a general idea of what patriarchy is.

Yes, It's a constructed system that place men above anything else. But only a specific type of men and a specific type of masculinity, while oppressing the rest, women, children, animals, nature, men who don't fall under its idea of 'man'. It's bunch of ideas with justifications of why those ideas are true and superior. It's a very closed paradigm. 

It's not something that should be relevent in 2023, in a healthy society.

That's all I have to say.
