What is patriarchy? Wikipedia says patriarchy is a social system in which males hold primary power and pre-dominate in roles of political leadership, moral, authority, social privilege, and control of property. The word patriarchy is attributed to a guy named Sir Robert Filmer. Research shows that we started off as an egalitarian society. There was equality and there was not a huge difference in the genders. It was the rise of agriculture and domestication when patriarchy started to hold its roots. Patriarchy has been co-created by all the genders. So how do we end the patriarchy? Ending the patriarchy is going to take both parties being willing to listen, for the feminine to show up with the emotional and energetic feeling of it and the masculine to listen to the feminine, and to come together to create a solution that feels good to both them.
