Pandora and the Patriarchy: Part 1
Welcome back Perceptionists!
This week we're diving straight in to what is basically the topic of the century: Patriarchy.
"What is "the Patriarchy"'?
"How does it affect us?"
"Who do we blame and how do we "fix" it?"
In this episode, I shift gears from our discussion on individual and social "identity", towards the more controversial ideas confronting the spoken and unspoken suppression of women and minorities. Initially, I had intended to merely discuss the ways in which "toxic masculinity" is internalized in Western Culture, but after hours and days of study, I began to have WAY more questions than that!
When we think of the idea of "the Patriarchy" certain terms and concepts come to mind like misogyny, chauvinism, pay gap, gender inequality, abuse etc., but I wanted to get down to the details of what this thing is and ask some potentially uncomfortable questions.
"Is Patriarchy real or are we thinking too much?" "Are men naturally dominant over women or are we being too sensitive?" "Are other men affected like minorities, and if so, to what extent?" "Are gender roles biologically innate or are they socially constructed?" "At what point were women forced into subservience to their husbands and how the hell did it happen?" "Is male dominance the rule in other cultures or just ours?" "If 'the Patriarchy' controls every part of our lives, how did it go unquestioned for so effing long?"
So many questions; this doesn't even touch the surface!
