Text Quotes
Formerly, many men dominated women within marriage. Now, despite a much wider acceptance of women as workers, men dominate women anonymously outside the marriage. Patriarchy has not disappeared; it has changed form. In the old form, women were forced to obey an overbearing husband in the privacy of an unjust marriage. In the new form, the working single mother is economically abandoned by her former husband and ignored by a patriarchal society at large  (Patriarchy Quotes) What had begun as a movement to free all black people from racist oppression became a movement with its primary goal the establishment of black male patriarchy  (Patriarchy Quotes) Why is it that many contemporary male thinkers, especially men of color, repudiate the imperialist legacy of Columbus but affirm dimensions of that legacy by their refusal to repudiate patriarchy?  (Patriarchy Quotes) Reviewing the literature on love I noticed how few writers, male or female, talk about the impact of patriarchy, the way in which male domination of women and children stands in the ways of love  (Patriarchy Quotes) The power of patriarchy has been to make maleness feared and to make men feel that it is better to be feared that to be loved. Whether they can confess this or not, men know that just is not true  (Patriarchy Quotes) There is nothing revolutionary whatsoever about the control of women's bodies by men. The woman's body is the terrain on which patriarchy is erected  (Patriarchy Quotes) What feminism calls patriarchy is simply civilization, an abstract system designed by men but augmented and now co-owned by women  (Patriarchy Quotes) Patriarchy, routinely blamed for everything, produced the birth control pill, which did more to free contemporary women than feminism itself  (Patriarchy Quotes) When a woman starts to disentangle herself from patriarchy, ultimately she is abandoned to her own self  (Patriarchy Quotes) Our very strength as lesbians lies in the fact that we are outside of patriarchy; our existence challenges its life  (Patriarchy Quotes) I don’t understand all the nuances of the women’s movement. But I do understand that there are feminists who want to challenge the dominant paradigm, not only of patriarchy, but of where the original wealth came from and the relationship of that wealth to other peoples and the earth. That is the only way that that I think you can really get to the depth of the problem  (Patriarchy Quotes) Our vision of interconnectedness resonates with new networks of world citizens in nongovernmental organizations linking from numberless centers of energy, expressing the emergence of a new organic whole, seeking unity within and across national lines... If governments and their leaders, bound by hierarchy and patriarchy, wedded to military might for legitimacy, fail to grasp the implications of an emerging world consciousness for cooperation, for peace and for sustainability, they may become irrelevant  (Patriarchy Quotes) Some women being empowered does not prove the patriarchy is dead. It proves that some of us are lucky  (Patriarchy Quotes) When feminism does not explicitly oppose racism, and when antiracism does not incorporate opposition to patriarchy, race and gender politics often end up being antagonistic to each other and both interests lose  (Patriarchy Quotes) The enemy of feminism isn’t men. It’s patriarchy, and patriarchy is not men. It is a system, and women can support the system of patriarchy just as men can support the fight for gender equality  (Patriarchy Quotes) Patriarchy is not men. Patriarchy is a system in which both women and men participate. It privileges, inter alia, the interests of boys and men over the bodily integrity, autonomy, and dignity of girls and women. It is subtle, insidious, and never more dangerous than when women passionately deny that they themselves are engaging in it  (Patriarchy Quotes) Well, the tyranny of masculinity and the tyranny of patriarchy I think has been much more deadly to men than it has to women. It hasn’t killed our hearts. It’s killed men’s hearts. It’s silenced them; it’s cut them off  (Patriarchy Quotes) I wish she’d said something different, but patriarchy is as prevalent around the world as racism and xenophobia are. We can’t hide from it, not even here  (Patriarchy Quotes) There is so much pressure on women to be heterosexual, and this pressure is both so pervasive and so completely denied, that I think heterosexuality cannot come naturally to many women: I think that widespread heterosexuality among women is a highly artificial product of the patriarchy... I think that most women have to be coerced into heterosexuality  (Patriarchy Quotes) It’s hard to measure success when we’re dealing with between 500 and 5,000 years of patriarchy depending on which continent we sit, so I would say feminism has been successful and we have a huge distance to go, huge  (Patriarchy Quotes) Recognition of the harm that patriarchy has caused to people and the planet does not mean that men are wrong and women are right; rather it is a call for new organizational forms and for relishing gender differences within a context of equality  (Patriarchy Quotes) Force, punishment, and violence are patriarchy’s answer to conflicts and social problems. Patriarchy finds its ultimate expression in war  (Patriarchy Quotes) ... if patriarchy can take what exists and make it not, surely we can take what exists and make it be  (Patriarchy Quotes) Women are the only ones who will be able to eliminate the patriarchy, and when that happens all of us will win, men as much as women  (Patriarchy Quotes) The feminists who are aware of the effects of patriarchy realize that we are all in the same boat from the dangers of patriarchy, and that the oppression of women is universal  (Patriarchy Quotes) Overturning patriarchy does not mean replacing men’s dominance with women’s dominance. That would merely maintain the patriarchal pattern of dominance. We need to transform the pattern itself  (Patriarchy Quotes)
