Reinforcement of Patriarchal Attitudes
Women can also reinforce patriarchal attitudes, as highlighted by a 2019 government survey of Indonesian women. The survey revealed that over 40% of 15 to 19 year old girls agreed to at least one justification for domestic violence, such as burning food, arguing, going out without permission, neglecting kids, or refusing sex with the husband. This data underscores the importance of addressing and challenging ingrained patriarchal beliefs within societies.
