Patriarchy is a social system in which the male acts as the primary authority figure central to social organization, and where fathers hold authority over women, children, and property. It implies the institutions of male rule and privilege, and entails female subordination. Many patriarchal societies are also patrilineal, meaning that property and title are inherited by the male lineage. The female equivalent is matriarchy.
Historically, patriarchy has manifested itself in the social, legal, political, and economic organization of a range of different cultures. Patriarchy also has a strong influence on modern civilization, although many cultures have moved towards a more egalitarian social system over the past century.
Patriarchy literally means "rule of fathers", from the Greek πατριάρχης (patriarkhēs), "father" or "chief of a race, patriarch". Historically, the term patriarchy was used to refer to autocratic rule by the male head of a family. However, in modern times, it more generally refers to social systems in which power is primarily held by adult men.
George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008) was an American stand-up comedian, social critic, satirist, actor and writer/author, who won five Grammy Awards for his comedy albums.
Carlin was noted for his black humor as well as his thoughts on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects. Carlin and his "Seven Dirty Words" comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a narrow 5–4 decision by the justices affirmed the government's power to regulate indecent material on the public airwaves.
The first of his fourteen stand-up comedy specials for HBO was filmed in 1977. In 1988, the 1990s and 2000s, Carlin's routines focused on socio-cultural criticism of modern American society. He often commented on contemporary political issues in the United States and satirized the excesses of American culture. His final HBO special, It's Bad for Ya, was filmed less than four months before his death.
Created
From the carcass of your lord
Your god, your child, your people
You're nothing but a servant
You've accepted
Your eternal slavery
Registered in the ancient myths
They've raped
Your body, your spirit
You're the victim of slavery regime
New masters were grown up in your hands
But you're ruled again
What is your role in the new world order
A traditional life sucker
If you want to freedom
Of you and me
You must burn it
Burn the Patriarchy
Socialized
Like a man in the form of a woman
Terrorized
forces of the modern society
Paralized
Dependence of morality
Will begin with your choice
The evolution of society
absolute liberty
or the everlasting slavery of self
You're the victim of slavery regime
New masters were grown up in your hands
But you're ruled
What is your role in the new world order
A traditional life sucker
Sapere Aude and see
Hypocrisy of those who shape you
A servant, a flesh
Or an intelligent form of life
If you want to freedom
Of you and me
You must burn it
