43:30Welcome to Episode 4 where we open up the densely packed topic of what the Patriarchy is and how it impacts us all on a daily basis. We discuss how it is believed the Patriarchy came into being, how it now translates into the world around you and who it impacts (spoiler alert: everyone). We unpack toxic masculinity as a symptom of the Patriarchy and how it influences society's perception of gender as well as discussing how the Patriarchy's modus operandi of "command and control" has a deeply deleterious impact on women's autonomy, specifically reproductive rights. - Historical information on the Patriarchy taken from "The Creation of the Patriarchy" by Dr. Gerda Lerner- Data on patriarchal design in society & representational gender differences taken from Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez (as usual)- Limitations on women's employment globally taken from the World Economic Forum's May 2018 article "Why Gender Equality Starts With a Change in the Law"- Information on Toxic Masculinity taken from the Psychology Today August 2017 article "Why Patriarchy is Not About Men"- Information on the Patriarchy's impact in the workplace and on relationships taken from the Everyday Feminism article "Patriarchy and How it Shows Up for Everyone"- Further information on the Patriarchy's impact on the workplace from a global perspective taken from the Telegraph India October 2018 article "Patriarchy in the Workplace"- Additional statistics and information taken from the Harvard Business Review June 2018 article "What Most People Get Wrong About Men and Women"- Please check out our "Feminism 101" suggested reading list here if you're at a loose end for a great read from an incredible female author!- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use here
