Patriarchal Society

A patriarchal society is a social system where men hold primary power and dominate in roles of leadership, moral authority, and control over property and decision-making. This structure often leads to the prioritization of male perspectives and interests, while women and non-binary individuals may experience limited rights, opportunities, and involvement in public life. Patriarchy can manifest in various cultural, legal, and economic contexts, shaping gender norms and expectations. Although many societies are increasingly moving towards equality, patriarchal values can still significantly influence social dynamics and individual experiences.
