What is the Patriarchy?
The patriarchy is a system of domination and control that has existed for thousands of years. It is based on the subconscious or underlying idea that men are superior to women and that they should have power over them.
The patriarchy also refers to the system that built the idea of race, believes in white supremacy, and attempted genocide of peoples all over the world, including Jewish peoples and Indigenous cultures worldwide (think Native peoples of the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, and even Ireland and Scotland), to name a few.
