Understanding Feminism: Analyzing Patriarchy and Gender Inequalities

This lesson explores fundamental feminist concepts such as patriarchy and its implications for women in society. We will investigate how patriarchal ideologies benefit men and perpetuate the oppression of women, highlighting issues related to social control, gender role socialization, and systemic inequalities. Through critical discussion and sociological writing, students will learn to articulate their understanding of feminist thought in relation to social issues. By examining stereotypes, media representations, and workplace dynamics, we aim to foster a comprehensive understanding of ongoing gender disparities.
