Source evidence

The patriarchy is when a teenage girl constantly gets asked if she has a boyfriend yet, when a women in her 30s constantly gets asked when she's getting married or having kids. There is more to woman than just being a mother and a wife, or being the girlfriend, people always try to rush woman into those boxes as soon as you reach a certain age, and make you think you are behind in life, why???
Just because you don't have a boyfriend or husband, there is more to life then being in a relationship, find yourself, find your interest, experience life, you don't have to rush anything just because society is pushing misogynist standards on you.
