In this thought-provoking episode of Sango Life Sutras, we explore how patriarchy functions not just as male dominance, but as a social system where women also play active roles, sometimes enforcing, sometimes benefiting, and sometimes resisting.From mothers-in-law exercising authority through sons, to women bosses adopting patriarchal norms, the discussion highlights the paradox: patriarchy can feel both restrictive and empowering depending on context. The speaker reframes patriarchy as a system with burdens and privileges, urging us to see beyond simplistic labels of “male oppression.”Key themes covered:How women sustain and benefit from patriarchyPower dynamics in families and workplacesSacrifice, tradition, and cultural conditioningEquality vs. responsibility in modern societyThe future of feminism and social balance
