How many times have you heard the cliche - strong men and weak women? Why strong women and sensitive men?

Patriarchy in Indian society refers to the traditional social system in which men hold dominant power and women are largely relegated to subservient roles.

This is reflected in a wide range of social, economic, and political institutions, from the family to the state.

To fight patriarchy in Indian society, there are several steps that can be taken.

Firstly, it is important to raise awareness about the issue and educate people on the negative effects of patriarchy on both men and women. This can be done through various means such as workshops, seminars, and social media campaigns.

Secondly, there needs to be a concerted effort to change laws and policies that reinforce patriarchal attitudes and practices. This could include measures to promote gender equality in the workplace, such as parental leave and equal pay policies.

Thirdly, it is important to work on changing attitudes and cultural norms that reinforce patriarchal attitudes. This could include promoting positive portrayals of women and girls in media and advertising, as well as encouraging men to challenge and change their own attitudes and behaviors.

Finally, it is important to support and empower women and girls, by providing them with access to education and healthcare, and creating opportunities for them to participate in the economy and political life.

It is important to note that these steps are not mutually exclusive and the effort to fight patriarchy will require the engagement and participation of the whole society.
