Frightfully, since their birth girls are taught to obey men, live for their choices, marry them and make them happy by all means. Women are taught that it’s their duty to serve men and their family and women on the other hand works under a man’s guidance because of what they’re taught and what they believe is that it’s their duty to respect what a man says. So yes women do play a role in upholding patriarchy. Women today are modern enough to follow their own dreams and career paths but until now many of them believe that their husbands have the right to choose whether they can follow their career or not, women are still not free enough to make choices for their own without a man’s consent. This is a horrifying truth of our society, mostly in rural areas, women think that it’s their duty to let their men do anything and they have to muggle it up all by themselves, even if anyone tries to stand against the people who hurt women, some women are against letting anyone point their men, this is how the mindset of some women have been destroyed to bear all the pain this patriarchal society gives them.
Change can be bought only when they’re ready to change their mindset or else the society will keep crushing a woman’s dream in every way possible.
