Why can't a woman be more like a man? Because patriarchy persists in the US

Article here. Excerpt:

'Although today a woman can be more like a man, and a man can be more like a woman, anti-female hatred, contempt and prejudice persists.

Patriarchy, originating with the advent of agriculture, is a 10,000-year-old social system of society and government in which the father or eldest male is head of the family. Men hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property. Women are largely excluded.

It is different from sexism, which is prejudice and discrimination based on a person’s sex or gender. However, patriarchy has been a breeding ground for sexism.

To suggest solutions, we must first acknowledge the advantages and disadvantages of patriarchy and the gains and losses when we give it up. It will then be possible to change from patriarchal attitudes and behaviors to egalitarian and humanistic attitudes and behaviors.

That would require increasing privilege and power for women in the traditionally male domains of corporation, military and government, and increasing privilege and responsibility for men in traditionally female domains of family and household.'
