First two in the patriarchy series

 

I continue to be appalled by the fact that we are now in the 21st century and patriarchy is still so solidly entrenched.  I have decided to do a series of posters that will 'explore' some different takes on why patriarchy remains an entrenched system that so strongly discriminates again women - and now, in this modern era, is also discriminating against so other genders.

The picture above shows the second in the series but printed on a tea towel - very fitting given the subject matter - women's place is in the kitchen as we know!!! Hanging on the hand rail at Deckled Edge Press studio-gallery

The first in the series is in fact below - patriarchy is not going to suddenly dismantle itself -it serves males very well thank you -it will need the influence of all of us to be dismantled.

I wonder why males work so hard to retain patriarchal systems and processes - I just wonder if deep down they are afraid of other genders who are their equal - maybe they are fearful and too weak to handle equality.

Over the next few weeks I will be printing more in the series - using the same two sets of wood type, two colours, A3 landscape and probably an edition of 5 each. I will print tea towels for the first poster in the series as well.
