Expanded:

< p>Patriarchy is a socially unequal conception of men and women that values men's rights and interests while characterizing women as subordinate to men and restricting their opportunities to develop their individual talents and personal freedoms.

This concept is commonly found in patriarchal societies and is often accompanied by ideas of male superiority and gender division of labor. Son preference also influences parents' wishes regarding the birth of a boy or a girl; for example, in ancient Chinese divination, the birth of a boy was regarded as a blessing and the birth of a girl as a blessing.

Some languages also express patriarchal attitudes. For example, in Chinese, "妇人之見" refers to the opinion of an uneducated person, and "妇人之仁" refers to kindness without consideration of the overall situation, which means belittling women's talents.
