In my art project, I wanted to show how patriarchy makes women feel like they don't have a voice, or an opinion, and show that men think they can do whatever they want to them as if they are just objects and have control over them. I wanted to make people realize what patriarchy makes women feel and to make them realize that patriarchy has to stop in order for women to have justice, a voice, and power, and not oppress.
What is something you learned about patriarchy and what is something you would like to change about what you learned?
Something I learned about patriarchy is how men think they can control everything as they want like they should be the only ones that matter in this world and women should just follow what they say and want. Something I word like to change about what I learned is that everyone should have the same rights and be treated equally.
