RE: EcoTrain Question Of The Week: What Is Patriarchy,Is a patriarchy the same as a society led by men, or is it more, a society led by fear and a feeling of scarcity, that happens ..........

in #ecotrain7 years ago

Our world is a patriarchal world. Everything has been designed by men, from systems of government to religions to schools, hospitals, towns, roads, cars, computers, everything, probably even Steemit. How can we be equal when we are living in a world that has been thought up by men? Lets look at where women have had an influence in our society. What systems have women been allowed to solely create? It is apatriarchal world unless everything is abolished and we start again surely?

Sort:  

I do believe that it is a patriarchal world we live in but cracks are starting to appear. I wrote this in the present, where I believe that this system affects both women and men. It is a very very old system that is clearly not working and as a result more people female and male are moving away, finding their own paths outside of it. I really see this as a problem with the system, which is led by men but unfortunately some women are also happy to live within the patriarchal world. For me there needs to be a balance of masculine and feminine, and so many have started to rebuild their lives by leaving all the know and moving out to the countryside and living in harmony with mother earth for me that is part of the change that needs to happen. And it is happening.
The follow on question from this one will be dealing more with the matriarchal.

For me it always comes back to that too, to be in countryside, close to the feminine, snuggled up in mother earths arms! Feel a bit cheesy saying that but its true.

I'm right there with you on that x
