Patriarchal system
A patriarchal system is a social structure in which men hold primary power and dominate roles in leadership, authority, and decision-making. This system often influences family dynamics, economic and political structures, and cultural norms, typically prioritizing male perspectives and interests. In patriarchal societies, women may face limitations in rights and opportunities, reinforcing traditional gender roles. While this system has been prevalent throughout history, many movements today advocate for gender equality, challenging patriarchal norms and striving for a more balanced distribution of power and opportunities between genders.
