A society ruled by men, in which males are in authority over women in all aspects of society.
- Do you think you live in a patriarchal society?
To some extent, i believe this statement to be true as our lives are heavily influenced by how they are represented in the media in which predominately focuses on gender and how males are the main attention. This divide in gender also affects us somewhat subconsciously by the gender pay gap.
On average, females make less money than males who work the same job and hours going far in showing how males dominate society. This pay gap can result in women making an average of $1.4 million less than men over a lifetime including time off for caring for children and illness. This divide in gender economically can be seen as a clear example of how males are seen as more important and more 'deserving' over females in society.
