Preferred term

patriarchy  

Definition(s)

  • Patriarchy is a theory about social organization that refers to a system of male authority that is seen to oppress women through its social, political, and economic institutions. In a patriarchal society, power rests in the hands of men, who have a greater access to, and control of, resources and rewards both in the domestic and non-domestic spheres. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Patriarchy]
