PATRIARCHY

                              

A society since ages dominated and narrated by men of the society can also be regarded as a Patriarchy. Hundreds of years ago females were not even considered eligible for voting and education too because of the belief that society and home can be run by mans only. Over the centuries we had seen the one roofed rule of males and not letting women do anything what males used to do. There’s a system that works accordingly with respect to males only in order to maintain the tradition.

A Father is believed to earn and feed their family with quality life. A father is expected to lead from the front and females to just stay at homes which compared to today’s world was a lot more worse. Society had also themselves set the definition of what it really means to be a man or women because of the barriers that are being set for both men and women but the barriers for women are much higher than those compared with men. Over the centuries there had been expectations for people to behave as per their gender otherwise there are whole lot of repucussions to it because being a man is not any compliment in the society but it’s a burden on a person because its not necessary that every man will behave as per the guidelines set by the society which questions about the masculanity of a man which directly indicates it as an insult to a man. Patriarchy is strictly followed throughout the world which shows the obsession towards it because handling the power only by one gender has been the ever since torture to the females. There’s a competition in the world full of patriarchy on how to become more of a man because the society teaches you that if you earn for the family  and do all the works outside of home  then you are considered to be a man because leading the house is only a man’s job and not a women’s . There’s a web which has stuck everyone into it and only one side is enjoying the party.

There are rules for males to follow like he is suitable for joining armed forces or suitable for 9-5 job with that he needs to be emotionally strong and stable because he cant cry or else he’s not a man and women are considered to be weak and emotional and cannot join services like armed forces because they are made to work in home only and growing up the kids. The stereotypes are such of high standards that in a film a dialogue is written ki Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, now after listening to this the masculinity goes on top of the sky feeling that they are ultimate because nothing can hurt them and they are strong but no one except some people saw the other side of the story because many ones never wanted to. The other side of the story is that men cry, they do get hurt, they do feel things but the society never allowed them open up because it does not come under the definition of a man.

One more theory in today’s world also which never changed over the period of decades is that men are more eligible than women because if you see a graph of payment in every field then you will find that men are paid more than that of women because indirectly it’s the effect of patriarchal society.

Also women is not termed as eligible for a leadership role or they are restricted one limited role because in a patriarchal society the oppression of women is emphasized by this it means that they are pushed down or they are being restricted. Because all eyes are always on men like how do they progress and how do they help society in moving forward, all and all it is seen that they are seen as the developer of the society.
