1. Women are oppressed economically, politically, socially and psychologically, and this
happens through patriarchal ideology.
2. In a patriarchy society, the woman is marginalized, she is the 'other', and she's only
defined in her difference from male norms and values.
3. Society is deeply rooted in patriarchal ideology, such that the Bible, the myths and fairly tales are all influenced by patriarchal thinking. They portray women as the origin of sin and death (in the Bible) and helpless (in Monster tales).
4. While biology determines our sex (male or female) culture determines our gender
(masculine of feminine). All the traits we associate with feminine behaviour are learned,
not inborn.
5. Feminists' theory aims at changing the world by promoting gender equality. All feminist
activity is therefore a form of „activism? against patriarchy for the benefit of both gender.
