Painting the Patriarchy
A woman can't just walk away from
patriarchy for her power, authority
and privilege has been cast and
woven deeply into its bones. Fathers
are in charge of the family, not for
scientific reasons, only because of
physical power. Children find their
mothers cleaning and cooking are
left alone while mother must work.
Women at the bottom of the scale
sink more deeply into the bottom,
while those who strive in the middle
break legs and arms trying to climb
higher. But, those at the top are very
few and live comfortably striving to
keep the system just as it is.
