Fight Against Patriarchy; Rethinking Womens Sexual and Reproductive Rights.

This study explores the patriarchal structure and women’s exploitation. In every social system, women are vulnerable. Where men are the exploiters. Gender inequality plays a crucial role in social institutions like modern families (monogamous families), love and other similar structures. This system reflects the conflict between genders. Judith Butler (1990) expands this view by asserting that gender itself is a cultural performance rather than a biological fact. The study also draws attention to the fact that women frequently experience severe violence—not from strangers, but rather from their intimate partners. This study has looked at monogamous relationships and their influence on the women’s community. Furthermore, sexual experiences are often not seen merely as acts of intimacy; they largely result in unintended pregnancies. Either she is going to carry the baby or to abort. Women must deal with the repercussions. Society tends to minimize the negative consequences of pregnancy while exalting being a mother. Since a woman has no rights over reproduction and her body in a relationship, during sexual activity, where men no longer need concerns in a relationship, the structure lacks democracy. The patriarchal monogamous family structure is a result of male ego and dominance. As the family evolved from matriarchy to patriarchy. The family advances as society advances, and changes as society changes. It is the creation of the social system and will reflect its culture (Engles ([1884] 2022, 88). This monogamous family system deprived the rights of women and merely treated them as servitude and sexual slaves. This study aims to contribute to discussing women’s autonomy and bodily rights by examining the societal norms and patriarchal structure. The patriarchy is cant be reformed, it should be replaced.

Abstract

This study explores the patriarchal structure and women’s exploitation. In every social system, women are vulnerable. Where men are the exploiters. Gender inequality plays a crucial role in social institutions like modern families (monogamous families), love and other similar structures. This system reflects the conflict between genders. Judith Butler (1990) expands this view by asserting that gender itself is a cultural performance rather than a biological fact. The study also draws attention to the fact that women frequently experience severe violence—not from strangers, but rather from their intimate partners. This study has looked at monogamous relationships and their influence on the women’s community. Furthermore, sexual experiences are often not seen merely as acts of intimacy; they largely result in unintended pregnancies. Either she is going to carry the baby or to abort. Women must deal with the repercussions. Society tends to minimize the negative consequences of pregnancy while exalting being a mother. Since a woman has no rights over reproduction and her body in a relationship, during sexual activity, where men no longer need concerns in a relationship, the structure lacks democracy. The patriarchal monogamous family structure is a result of male ego and dominance. As the family evolved from matriarchy to patriarchy. The family advances as society advances, and changes as society changes. It is the creation of the social system and will reflect its culture (Engles ([1884] 2022, 88). This monogamous family system deprived the rights of women and merely treated them as servitude and sexual slaves. This study aims to contribute to discussing women’s autonomy and bodily rights by examining the societal norms and patriarchal structure. The patriarchy is cant be reformed, it should be replaced. The research incorporated both qualitative and quantitative studies, relying exclusively on secondary data.
