Human rights are important because they are used to safeguard everybody’s interests. However, during the traditional society, women were not allowed to voice their opinion because they were considered inferior. However, as society modernizes, there have been rules to enable women to have equal privileges as men. Allan Johns argues that change in a patriarchal system cannot be achieved through an individualistic knowledge of the system. Therefore, we should understand the patriarchal system since it does not function individually to help create a new socialization system. Patriarchy is not only the domination of women by men, but it also entails the control of women’s property, privacy, and sexuality. By understanding, this person can understand the effects of the patriarchal system on women’s rights. Women should be given the freedom to enable them to achieve their goals. Many societies believe in non-equality for women, which has led to many girls missing out on opportunities. This is a modern society; therefore, people should be able to evolve with it hence leaving the past behind. Boys should be educated on respecting women to live within an equal environment. Audre Lorde argues that oppression through hierarchy does not exist. She explains that sexism, racism, and heterosexism function combined as a system of oppression. All these factors contribute to oppression; therefore, people should think openly and avoid blaming men only for oppression. Racism is a factor that causes oppression as the white consider themselves as superior beings. Hence, they do not consider ideas from people of color. In sexism, men consider women inferior; hence, their opinions are not taken seriously, especially when in office, which is a form of oppression. Heterosexism affects the people who love people of the same gender hence are considered inferior due to their preference. Understanding the different causes of oppression will enable people to develop better solutions that can enable women and men to achieve equal rights. People should not blame men for oppression since one can be oppressed depending on sexism, heterosexism, and race. Children are taken care of by fathers who love them and are men; therefore, men are not the only cause for oppression.
