bell hooks Understanding Patriarchy:

“Patriarchy is a political-social system that insists that males are inherently dominating, superior to everything and everyone deemed weak, especially females, and endowed with the right to dominate and rule over the weak and to maintain that dominance through various forms of psychological terrorism and violence.”

“Listen to the voices of wounded grown children raised in patriarchal homes and you will hear different versions with the same underlying theme, the use of violence to reinforce our indoctrination and acceptance of patriarchy.”

bell hooks The Oppositional Gaze:

“power in a system of domination which controls everything, and which leaves no freedom.”

“the gaze has been and is a site of resistance for colonized black people globally”
