In our society, we have seen how much they prefer the man because he is more qualified for positions. Still, even if the man and the women have the same qualifications, we have seen that they often choose the man still because of the hierarchy that has been placed in our society. Some of these reasons are that women are too vulnerable and cannot take on certain positions. Another reason is that they fear that the woman will become pregnant one day and won't give as much time to her work. This is why women have to work ten times harder in order to be seen the same as men. After researching this topic more, I have seen the injustices that women have to face every day. The image that I have provided is the perfect example of what women have to go through; men see women as powerless and unimportant for positions and make them feel like they are not worthy.

Feminism is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. In Western cultures, we have seen that gender inequality has been an ongoing thing for years, and women have been trying to challenge this idea and stop the oppression of women's rights and equality. Throughout your upbringing, you will begin to see the inequality that many women face in their day-to-day lives, such as not having equal pay like men, the government making decisions on your body, and often not being taken seriously by men in positions in power. In addition, many feminists today are trying to end the injustices that women face. The image above shows that women are people who deserve the same freedom and equality as men. Our intersectionality should not define the power we can hold. We belong and deserve the same respect as men

I  believe that breaking patriarchal societal norms is essential so that women can be seen the same as men and hold the same power as them. Patriarchy has been seen as a form that controls females from not having rights, being submissive, and being weak.  Even though we have seen that the world has evolved, we still see many folks taking part in the patriarchy and not allowing their wives to be their own people. Imagine living in a world where all women could be free and be who they want to be and not have anyone tell them what they can do. This video gave me a better perspective on patriarchy and showed me that this is still going on in many families, including mine. The women in these households are to stay back and allow the man to make all decisions in the household and have the women just be a housewife and not have a voice.

After watching the video go ahead and answer these questions on your discussion board.
