Patriarchy, Gender

Patriarchy, Gender_f0401719_19063711.jpg


In "Limitless Paradise," there is a scene in which an elderly man violently intimidates a woman.
Even today, mainly conservative elderly people treat women in an intimidating manner.
Its origins can be traced back to patriarchy.
For many years, men were considered superior to women. This is what leads to such everyday violence.

Engels wrote ''The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State'' based on Marx's draft.
Engels appealed for the emancipation of women, citing the literature of Lewis Henry Morgan and Marx.

Engels analyzed the history of ethnicity, family, marriage, and sexuality from a scientific perspective.

Patriarchy and gender were created by those in power and capitalist society, and ancient societies did not discriminate between men and women, but rather were female-dominated societies.
However, under a patriarchal system, men have an advantage in all aspects, and women suffer various penalties.
Engels also questioned the legal system of marriage, citing its flaws in terms of slavery.
Under patriarchy, women are enslaved in all aspects and are sometimes used for material labor in capitalist society.
Men decide everything, and women follow. Capitalism has prevented women from thinking.
Capitalist society cleverly embellishes women's inferior status in order to hide the problems.
Marx and Engels were early on calling for women's suffrage, but they believed that alone would not solve the problem.
“We think everyone needs to realize that the status of women is declining.”
In this book, Engels angrily denounces the elaborately engineered gender inequality.

Japan has also had a thoroughly patriarchal system from ancient times to the present.
Recently, young women have become aware of this problem and have taken to social media to speak out against the patriarchy.
In Japan, the ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party, has been promoting patriarchy and gender discrimination.
Even now, the Liberal Democratic Party has carried out various strategies to maintain a male-dominated society.
Capitalism and neoliberalism have flooded the people with massive amounts of products, propaganda, and information, preventing them from thinking independently.
They attacked Marx and repeated the propaganda that ''communism is an unfree society.'' There are many reasons why they attack Marx with false rumors.

Harada did not read this book by Engels in the 1980s, but in the end everything is connected.
