Man and Patriarchy

The concept of Patriarchy that calls for ‘Male Supremacy’, is one of the rapidly evolving concept. The reason to it’s- ever changing nature is the influence of each factor onto it. For example, from a little incident at a remote place- to a globally acknowledged incident on the media; patriarchy is influenced in some ways. However, at present there is an emerging thought that supports the abolishment of patriarchy- to much extent. Surprisingly, this trend is not supported by the females- this time, but there are many that often calls for collaborating instead of contending women’s. What influence such minds? The answer to this indifferent question includes important factors such as the changing nature of working environment throughout the world, the emerging thoughts of creating collaborative work environments for all, the distancing of fundamentalist thoughts, the adoption towards responsible behaviors and most of all the achievement of relaxing mind. For such minds targets at hand are not just the self-pleasure, but a soothing environment which is beneficial for all. They want self-restrictions on the price for getting a sustainable environment for chasing their dreams.

These factors are the actual driving force, how men could be taken into account for abolishing or limiting patriarchy. As it is apparent, that not always, it is the women which is on the receiving edge, not always is the women affected from patriarchy and also not always it is women who wants to be in the passive roles. Man is a partner to all these. He is affected by patriarchy, when he see himself as projecting much and much- which he is not for her dear ones, when he finds himself uncomfortable in an environment much privileged for him, and when his sexual desire becomes dominant over his physical attributes. This is when man is against patriarchy. Men resist patriarchy when he finds himself loosing much worthy things for just portraying himself as ‘Man’. Therefor they resist patriarchy, by being part of system that calls for equal opportunities for all, by accepting the fact that passive feelings are found in themselves also, by focusing on their many qualities that are being rusted, by softening their hearts towards women which can benefit in their personal life and by being a shareholder rather than being the only caretaker. This means that patriarchy and ‘kind man ship’ are not at that much opposite ends. They can work by these ways. As the end product of everyone’s efforts rests upon achieving positivity and pleasures. Also to ease today’s tensions one needs to mend his way, by not underestimating the opposite sex but by being comfortable toward each other.

Denis Kandiyoti argues in re- thinking bargaining with patriarchy that power and resistance are manageable- as like man can oppose patriarchy ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"mIuXway5","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Kandiyoti)","plainCitation":"(Kandiyoti)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":93,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/s8f0QVnP/items/JUE3C92S"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/s8f0QVnP/items/JUE3C92S"],"itemData":{"id":93,"type":"article-journal","title":"Rethinking bargaining with patriarchy","container-title":"Feminist vision of development: Gender, analysis and policy","page":"135–154","source":"Google Scholar","author":[{"family":"Kandiyoti","given":"Deniz"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2005"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Kandiyoti). Such is the nature of modern day man, in whom compassion seems dominating the ill feelings. Also, the nature of this day world has changed. Things are more tiresome, environment gets too complicated early, active passive feelings are found generally (not passive remains just associated to women) and peace of mind is the most sorted thing of all. This have made most- if not all the men manageable. This is now the biggest achievement in the hands of feminists, which is not achieved, but is naturally conferred upon them. Edley and Nigel also calls for the recodification of the standards of masculinity and femininity. As for them, the world has evolved to the extent, where everything is much diluted, not at now, one can live with the natural confers upon them ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"o6ipiN0K","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Edley and Wetherell)","plainCitation":"(Edley and Wetherell)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":95,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/s8f0QVnP/items/DHJZAI25"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/s8f0QVnP/items/DHJZAI25"],"itemData":{"id":95,"type":"book","title":"Men in perspective","publisher":"Pearson Education Limited","source":"Google Scholar","author":[{"family":"Edley","given":"Nigel"},{"family":"Wetherell","given":"Margaret"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["1995"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Edley and Wetherell). This is how men can work for women, to make them feel special and to ripe from them the pleasures, for which a women was brought to earth.
