PATRIARCHY
Patriarchy literally means rule of the father in a maledominated family.
It is a social and ideological construct which considers men
(who are the
patriarchs) as superior to women.
Sylvia Walby in Theorising Patriarchy calls it a system of
social structures and practices in which men dominate,
oppress and exploit women (Walby, 1990).
PATRIARCHY
Patriarchy is based on a system of power relations
which are hierarchical and unequal where men control
womens production, reproduction and sexuality.
FEMINISM
Feminism is an awareness of patriarchal
control, exploitation and oppression at the
material and ideological levels of womens
labour, fertility and sexuality, in the family,
at the place of work and in society in
general, and conscious action by women and
men to transform the present situation
