DOES PATRIARCHY AFFECT FEMALE RELATIONSHIPS? "Although most of us know what patriarchy is — a system of domination by which the wealthy, white, male ruling class has authority over everyone else — few of us understand how it plays out in female friendships.

Patriarchy still exists. And just like racism, it often manifests in casual ways that tend to go unnoticed by the majority of people.

 

Unfortunately, this plays out in everyday life far more often than we realize – and it even plays out between women.

 

Women need to stop reinforcing patriarchal mandates that require competition amongst each other and start forming relationships that build each other up instead of tearing each other down. Women compare themselves to other women. That's a road to hell and destruction.

 

We may be envious of another woman’s awesome career, education, great hair, awesome sense of style, high IQ, or assertiveness. If we’re straight, we may even be envious that other guys pay more attention to her than they do to us.

 

All of this envy may make us feel bad about ourselves, so we project our own sense of insecurity outward and label the other woman as a bitch or self-absorbed.

We compete with each other when we should be supporting one another.

 

This competition among the female sex stems from a time when a woman had to focus on being as attractive as possible to find a good husband to provide for her —during a time when most women didn’t work outside the home and relied on men to support them.

 

How can you begin creating how you interact and support women in your own life? Start by noticing your reactions to other women. Hold yourself in compassion and the women in your life in compassion — and then do something different that supports sisterhood instead of breaking it down".~Pamela Madden
