Patriarchy is when the male gender is dominating in certain areas and make it hard for women to also have the same power. It is true that when people talk about patriarchy, they think about mean being in charge and yes, it is but it is also about women who will not stand for that and want people to see that they exist and are even as strong as them. I can’t just blame a person for something unless they did it and that is why women do not say men treat them badly because they just don’t like men. They make people aware of what is going on because it has happened to them and there is no way they will want men at work or at home trying to make them feel less of a human being. The idea that women are fragile, and men are strong should not even be a thing. People tend to say discrimination started by the system, who is part of the system, the government? They tend to blame a group when it starts from an individual and moves on to others. Yes, people in the government also treat women terrible but they were not always there, they learned it somewhere else. 

When women mention patriarchy, they are not agreeing that they should be downgraded they choose to fight. If women did not exist I winder who they would downgrade. Society has made it seem like men do the most important things which means they should be praised more but what I do not understand is how can they dictate that when they never let women who can do the same thing a chance. Even when they give a chance, we are seen as not good enough. It can be hard for people who just want their work to be accepted and it’s even worse for people of color, being discriminate for their color and their gender.

Being a person of color, part of the lgbtq community should not be seen as a bad thing because these people are still humans. If you assume there is something bad, then you are most likely the problem. They are strong people because they are going through more oppression just because they finally found themselves and because of how they were born. Punishing people for who they are is completely wrong. There are people who can’t fight discrimination and that is why we need to fight for them and stop this hatred which has been happening. Sometimes I like to know what make a human being harm another human being because they don’t like who they are. It just does not sit right and that is pure wickedness. That fact that some people are beginning to accept that they can’t fight the oppression shows how bad it is and how fast it needs to stop. Being in a certain group should mean you are accepted and not put you in any harm or danger. It just unreal how far others can go because they do not like you or because they think they are better than you.
