PATRIARCHY AND WAR

Even if we are not aware of it, patriarchy has always been behind every political and military idea. Patriarchy, together with many other ideals (imperialism, religion or capitalism, for example), has lead to many wars and exploitation movements.

All of them lead to different causes, but at the same time, they have created one patriarchal society with the same ideals that know only one only way to solve everything: war and violence.


War means power. And power has been followed by the human being for centuries. It's just that, instead of human beings, males have been the only specie allowed to show the "strength" they own, forcing others to stay in the dark. This way, discrimination such as speciesism, racism or sexism have become very common among us. Each group tries to show off their strengths, but men are the ones to apparently be strong.

Under patriarchy, white men have disproportionate political, social and economic power. Violence is male-dominated just as most aspects of political and social life are controlled by white men.
