Bell Hooks "Understanding Patriarchy"
Bell hooks explains patriarchy: As a male driven society. On a social aspect men hold all the power positions, the drive the political system and basically form the culture and society as a whole. Women are expected to abide by the rules that men put into order and there main job is to support the men in their lives blindly. Bell explains how the problem and the only possible resolution is for men and something women to speak and realize/ or understand the word and meaning of patriarchy. she speaks of how men do not or even know this powerful use for this word "patriarchy" reason may be linked to the fact this conversation is often brought to the surface by a women feminist and that is off-putting to them so they stop listening. Hooks does an amazing job at pointing the picture of how dangerous and also the actual definition of patriarchy.
