• I think it is important to recognize patriarchy as a system and not as an individual identity for the fact that even though patriarchy system give man “all the power and authority” many men might not identify with it or practice it. Also, I think it doesn’t not necessary trigger a person itself but a group of people that identify with the group.  There are many factors that create or develop certain action in some cultures than others even though the system is patriarchy “We would be quick to explain rape and battery as the acts of sick or angry men, but without taking seriously the question of what kind of society would produce so much male anger and pathology or direct it toward sexual violence rather than something else.” Rather than privileges’ some and oppress others we need to get to the root of it.  
• One thing that stand out to me in the reading “Patriarchy, the System” is the fact that system somehow is actually society constructed “In addition to socialization, participation in social systems shapes our behavior through paths of least resistance, a concept that refers to a feature of social systems that guides the conscious and unconscious choices we make from one moment to the next.” Patriarchy is a way of organizing social life through which such wounding, failure, and mistreatment are bound to occur. 

• Personal – Feelings, thoughts, beliefs about others and attitudes about differences (conscious and intentional or unconscious and unintentional). 

 “I know what you really mean—me!” A lot of people hear “men” whenever someone says “patriarchy,” so that criticism of male privilege and the oppression of women is taken to mean that all men—each and every one of them—are oppressive people. 

how each word has been transformed from a positive cultural image of female power, independence, and dignity to an insult or a shadow of its former self, leaving few words to identify women in ways both positive and powerful. 

• Interpersonal – Language, action, and behaviors. Immigrants from many countries whose English might not be proficient suffer this kind of oppression. 

• Institutional – Rules, policies, practices and procedures, both written and unwritten, that an organization has that function to intentionally or unintentionally, advantage some individuals and disadvantage others. This is something we see a lot and many considerate it as racism when it comes to justice and Afro-American compare to justice and White people. 

• Cultural/Structural – What is considered “true,” “right,” “normal,” and “beautiful.”  In many cultures is okay that a man has more than one wife, or a young woman to marry an old man.
