Feminism : Gender Equality :: Patriarchy : ?

Feminism is a movement that seeks gender equality, meaning it fights for equal rights and opportunities for all genders. In contrast, patriarchy refers to a social system where men hold more power and authority over women and other genders. Just as feminism aims to challenge and change the unequal power dynamics of patriarchy, we can say that patriarchy is to gender inequality. For example, in a patriarchal society, men may dominate leadership roles, while women may be limited in their choices and freedoms. Therefore, the relationship can be summarized as feminism seeks to combat patriarchy to achieve gender equality.
