The author Allan G Johnson talks about how patriarchy affects both genders and men. He explains how since the word patriarchy is used many people hear or interpret that it is men, their privileges and the oppression towards women.many people interpret patriarchy as that all men have the oppression of women however sometimes men feel defensive because they identify with patriarchy and its values since it has the privilege of many things but when it comes to facing the consequences they do not give the face which produces the privilege of men to be able to benefit from something without having to give the face of their problems.on the other hand in the reading he explains how we must begin to understand that we are trapped in a “model of social life that views everything as beginning and ending with individuals.” From what I understand is that everything begins and ends with an individual and that with the decision of an individual we can change many things since as he explains us in the reading we are part of the social system and that we can change many things that today are part of the patriarchy.that as everything is like a conjuto of words where we must change in that as the Latinos say the men do not cry because that makes them only the woman is they look weak, . it is something natural of our nature that we have feelings towards something or as they say that women should cook and do what they do out of the house. Not all women have the same interest in things if a woman does not like this kind of thing and prefers to invest her time at work or other things that does not make her more or less woman.So the change is in oneself in wanting to make the differences and do things well and not remain silent when we see something unfair or that favors both women and men.Many men to get what you want it becomes easier time behind but in this last time while I grew up I have realized that today we women have advanced a lot in power and privilege that men had and not only in countries like the United States I have also seen it in Caribbean countries like my country the Dominican Republic and it is in the types of jobs such as women police officers that according to society were “only for men” and today I see women in those jobs.
In the lecture “There Is No Hierarchy of Oppressions” by Audre Lorde it tell us about the problems and oppressions with which she has to live since she is black and lesbian and how she feels how the appreciation and intolerance of differences come in all shape. and as people like them try to change and get liberation so that in the future their children have a workable future. For many people in society the role of a woman is to be a mother and take care of her home. but it is not so with time everything will change.
