Why women support patriarchy

In the words of Gerda Lerner: “Men and women live on a stage, on which they act out their assigned roles, equal in importance. The play cannot go on without both of them. Neither of them `contributes' more or less to the whole; neither is marginal or dispensable. But the stage set is conceived, painted, defined by men. Men have written the play, have directed the show, interpreted the meanings of action. And, they have assigned themselves the most interesting, most heroic parts, giving women the supporting roles."
