The Vietnamese word "phụ quyền" translates to "patriarchy" in English. It refers to a social system or structure where men hold the primary power and authority, often in family, societal, and political contexts. In a patriarchal system, men typically have authority over women and children, and this can influence various aspects of life, including family roles, job opportunities, and social expectations.

Usage Instructions:
  • "Phụ quyền" is often used in discussions about gender roles, social justice, and cultural studies.
  • It can describe both historical contexts and contemporary issues related to gender equality.
Examples:
  1. Basic Usage: "Trong một chế độ phụ quyền, người đàn ông thường quyền lực lớn hơn phụ nữ." (In a patriarchal system, men often have more power than women.)
  2. Advanced Usage: "Nhiều phong trào nữ quyền hiện nay đang đấu tranh chống lại chế độ phụ quyền để đạt được sự bình đẳng giới." (Many feminist movements today are fighting against patriarchy to achieve gender equality.)
Variants:
  • "Phụ quyền" can be used in different contexts, such as in discussions about family dynamics (where a father or husband holds authority) or in broader societal roles.
  • Related terms include "bình đẳng giới" (gender equality) and "nữ quyền" (feminism).
Different Meanings:
  • While "phụ quyền" primarily refers to patriarchy, it can also imply a sense of authority or control in various relationships, not just family.
  • In some contexts, it may also refer to the concept of "paternalism," where authority figures make decisions for others, often with the belief that it is for their own good.
