Part 6/13:
A core argument is that patriarchy is a natural order, not a societal construct to oppress but an intrinsic part of human biology and the universe. It is posited that men are naturally suited to lead, and that society functions better when men assume authority, especially within marriage. The belief that men are biologically stronger and naturally inclined to be protectors and providers underpins this perspective.
Proponents argue that men’s authority is benevolent and stabilizing, ensuring women’s happiness and societal order. They emphasize that when men assume final decision-making power and when women appreciate men for who they are—supporting rather than competing—the dynamics of marriage are healthier and more fulfilling.
