Don't get people that say that women had it awful therefore patriarchy! Men had it awful too! Everyone had it awful.

Well, no, patriarchy is a system of government where men have power over women & that existed.

But for the most part, this didnt mean much surely. Only for those actually in power? Did the average man benefit from this?

Yes! His wife had to do what he said & everything she earnt was his. She couldn't own anything. Like being a child.

She didn't need to own anything , she was busy being pregnant for 15 years. Imagine having to put up with a pregnant wife for all that time

Backbreaking work in the day. Ultra hormonal wife in the night! It's ok though, he had his male privilege!

Whether it was a privilege or not, it was a system where men had power over women. That was what the word meant.

I think I'd rather have been one of the wives in the king's harem!

Being a nun was a good life. Not getting pregnant. Enough food.

That's true. I wonder what the average life span was for a nun (or a monk). Surely longer?
