A standard set on society which affects both men and women. This sets the standard that men should be the leader of the home over the wife and children. Another standard which is set for men is that they have to hide their emotions, or they’ll be looked down on in society. For the women, one of their standards is that they have to be the stay-at-home wife, the caretakers, the weaker sex. Another standard that women have to live up to are the beauty standards. A few of them are having no body hair, having a low amount of fat on the stomach area but large breasts, ass, thighs and a small waist.

Man 1: Hey ‘Woman 1’. Aren’t you a believer of the patriarchy?
Woman 1: Yes. I believe that only women are opressed by the patriarchy. The beauty and stay at home standards.
Man 2: But what about men?
Woman 1: They are the ones who set the standards.
Woman 2: So are you saying there aren’t any standards against men?
Woman 1: Yes, In my belief.
Man 1: But what about the idea that all men need to be this masculine image that no-one can live up to.
Man 2: Or the fact that we need to hide our true emotions from everyone.
Woman 2: Yeah, the patriarchy affects us all. Men, women, between races and ethnic groups, rich, poor.

Girl 1: Does patriarchy really exist?
Girl 2: It did exist in ancient social sytems. But now there is no such thing as patriarchy because of gender equality laws.

Patriarchy: A belief system and culture of oppression that has been running rampant in western civilization for the last 10,000 years. This belief system suppresses the feminine principal in both females and males alike and causes a suppression of emotions, compassion and caring in our world. It also shows up as a suppressive thought form that believes that the masculine principal is in charge of nature and can do whatever "he" wants regardless of the circumstances. Although, some believe this no longer exist (due to women having external rights) it is rampant in our underlying subconscious and unconscious beliefs as a culture.
The suppressive forces of the patriarchy within her psyche has caused her to bulldoze the sacred indigenous lands. She is ignoring how she really feels and instead is choosing profits over her heart.

A confusing system in which men have power (good job, lots of money, strength, good education) and expect women to be submissive (have no job/make little money, weak, be kinda smart but not too smart).
Josh: "All girls want from a man is money."
Matt: "That's how patriarchy works! I mean you wouldn't want to be with a girl who was smarter, stronger, or made more many than you! Right?!"
