CAPITAL From Their Parents, or in Marriage Practices, Whereby A Woman Is Given

Patriarchy is a social system that believes men should be in positions of power and authority over social structures like families and communities. It places men in governance roles and gives them priority access to resources. Patriarchy is maintained through practices such as inheritance laws that favor sons and marriage traditions where women take their husband's surname and are controlled by male family members.

Patriarchy

Patriarchy is a social system that is based on the belief and associated practices
that men are authority figures in most, if not all, social structures. This places
male figures in positions of POWER in structures such as families and
communities as well as giving them ACCESS and priority to governance.
Patriarchy is
enshrined in practices such as inheritance, whereby older male children inherit
CAPITAL from their parents, or in marriage practices, whereby a woman is given
away by her father and then adopts her husbands surname. Feminists have
challenged and deconstructed patriarchy, showing it to be maintained by
patriarchal discourses, for example, those which construct men as being
natural or good leaders.
