The Persistent Patriarchy Prototype

Would you offer to pay when you go on a movie spree with a male friend?

I do.

But I know of tonnes other who would love to get their bills paid by the male.

That was US.

This is what we were taught at our schools right?

Judicious use of resources’! I don’t think we got that concept well!!

In fact, I sometimes feel there should be separate schools for girls where the curriculum remains dedicated to something called ‘House-wifery’! Exclusive cooking, babysitting and cleaning classes! Wouldn’t that be better? Using all those bucks at the right place, eh?

I agree, with education comes the broadening of thoughts and evolution and ‘working’ isn’t the only application of studying.

The point I am trying to make here is…even the thought process ‘evolution’ that we are talking about here hasn’t happened very well.

The ‘Patriarchal’ pattern has its root so deep, that we don’t ourselves believe how we keep supporting it!

Another “I don’t want to argue with you anymore. Your generation is over intelligent” and an ongoing debate closed on the face.
