How to use "Patriarchal" in context?
There are a variety of definitions for patriarchalism, but generally, it refers to a society or government in which male authority is dominant. Patriarchal societies are often characterized by unequal rights for women and a lack of access to power and resources. Historically, patriarchy has been associated with societies where women are viewed as property of their fathers or husbands and are not allowed to exercise their own independent judgments. Patriarchal societies can also be found in religious traditions where women are second-class members, and in countries where Islam is the dominant religion.
