1.Definition of Patriarchal Society -
A system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it.
2. I don't think we live in an patriarchal society anymore, because we currently have a female prime minister and a female monarch.
The role of men in the family has evolved. Men used to be the bread winners and the head of the family. Now, more than ever, women are taking different views on this. Family's in today's society are made up differently, for example single parents, lesbian and gay family's. This goes against the traditional patriarchal template of years gone by, with the head of the family, housewife and children.
This said, we do still have areas that need updating, such as the gender pay gap and the progression of women through various corporations.
