Teaching About Dismantling the Patriarchy
Please tell us about your submission (maximum 600 words)
This video is about teaching the patriarchy. I feel that it is important that girls and everyone should learn about the patriarchy and what they can do to fix it in their life.
What is something you learned about patriarchy and what is something you would like to change about what you learned?
While researching for this video I learned a lot more about the pay disparities. For every dollar a man earns a woman will only earn 82 cents. This was a really big deal to me, because in my life I want to be able to make my mark on the world and earn my own livable wage. Learning that the odds are already set against me makes me want to work harder to dismantle the patriarchy for the success of future generations of women.
