Patriarchy is a social structure. We do not realize that patriarchal thinking and behavior also exist in women, in some cases women are also carrying the weight of patriarchy.

Every society has different values and beliefs. Some words and behaviors and thoughts are so ingrained in our brains that we don't even want to look back at them.
There is diversity in nature, but there is no discrimination between nature itself, but society discriminates between other communities or individuals.
What was sexuality in your family as a child and what is it now? What are some of the saddest things that happened in your life being a woman and a man? Are there examples of these and such events challenging the system? It seems that 'feminism' should also lead a debate about human and nature coexistence.
We have never thought deeply about inequality, the history of discrimination, the struggles and triumphs of reality, or the fight for rights. We are talking about sex. It includes human history, personal property, industrial development.
comes up with world empire and also comes up with patriarchy and masculinity and capitalism and inequality. One side may even think that women are the ones who are against the father rather than patriarchy and against the entire male existence than masculinity, society is broken, morality is disappearing.
It is difficult for our mind to accept that patriarchy has been created by dominating a kind of power in the two creatures given by nature, women and men, and this system has been operating for almost 4000 years.
Patriarchy is a social structure. Patriarchal thinking and behavior occurs in women as well. In some cases, we have not noticed that women are carrying the weight of patriarchy.
Sexuality does not only relate to women. Femininity does not exist in a vacuum. It accompanies masculinity. In this, the image or power of one adjective is determined by another adjective. Women are considered weak, while men are considered strong or powerful.
In the patriarchal society we are living in, the image and role of men in that society, men continue to suffer pain and injustice. Men can be sentimental, greedy, and their
This society stops us from showing weakness, showing fear or accepting it. They are always pressured to play the role of protector, nurturer of the family. That is why these aspects have become mandatory that the impact of masculinity on them should also be taken care of.
When it comes to masculinity, many men do not meet the perceived standards of authoritative or powerful masculinity. If they fail to be aggressive, they are ridiculed – with epithets like 'Nari, Mahila, Imai'. The simple and humble boy is not left behind to be physically and mentally exploited by other strong, grandfather-type men.
Since masculinity is also seen as associated with their sexual power, some men feel insecure and anxious in this regard. The time has come to discuss these issues sensitively. Let 'feminism' cover these aspects as well.
Masculinity qualities include being rough, tough, tough, irritable, ambitious, sexually aggressive (violent), protective of women, and submissive. Researchers believe that biologically there are some differences between men and women in some parts of the body and reproductive organs, but other roles and qualities are created by society itself. But masculinity and femininity are created not by biological characteristics but by rigid social values.
Different ideologies, religious political views, national and other communal views are also such as to promote masculinity. For example, women are regarded as the protectors of tradition, culture and collective identity, and men as protectors of their territories and boundaries. In the same way, masculinity and femininity are practiced in the matter of showing all manners, virtues, goodness. Arguments such as freedom, democracy, motherland, fatherland are accepted as masculinity, while emotions and weakness are understood as femininity.
Because of these social structures, men get into various financial and psychological problems when they try to be the leader alone, saying that it is my responsibility without openly discussing many family social problems. However, suppressing these things, they end up consuming alcohol and other drugs and become addicted to these things. It can be seen that some of the male members are struggling with various physical problems while being tormented by ego, passion and loneliness.
We also keep hearing about cases where some men who are growing up in the concept of masculinity have joined various criminal organizations. But men are not born passive. They are just as kind, prudent and capable of expressing their feelings as women. But, without thinking about this matter, if we follow the inhuman patterns of each society, then the men who become men are the same dominant men or 'hegemonic' men.
According to RW Connell, 'hegemonic' masculinity serves as a norm in contemporary American and European culture. This includes dominance over women and dominance within men. It also refers to who is more masculine among men.
The concept of such 'stereotype' is shaping the socialization and aspirations of young men. For example, men may be ruthless, fiercely competitive, unable or unwilling to admit weakness or dependency, and demeaning and mocking women. To talk about masculinity is to talk about gender relations. Masculinity characterizes the social condition of men in terms of sex.
Now our society needs human dominance more than masculinity. The concept of 'feminism' is expected to encompass the voice of justice of women, men, sexual and gender minorities and marginalized communities. Famous feminist activist, writer, feminist thinker Kamala Bhasin
is the slogan that is repeated in his speeches that 'feminism' is not matriarchy, the opposite of patriarchy, but 'feminism' is a humanist, equality and egalitarian concept. which accepts the equal existence of men and women. To be honest, the theory of 'feminism' should oppose global wars, fights, strife and destruction and envision a human world where nature is also treated fairly.
