Patriarchy refers to male dominance over women. There are few known societies that are not patriarchal, although the degree and character of inequalities between the sexes varies considerably across cultures. In the United States, women have made considerable progress yet are still unequal in many ways.

Violence perpetrated by men against women is found in many societies-in the form of spousal abuse, rape, and sexual harassment, for example. The most common manifestation of violence against women is rape , which is the forcing of nonconsensual intercourse. Some scholars argue that women are often the targets of sexual violence because men are socialized to see women as sex objects and to feel a sense of sexual entitlement to women.

The increasing number of women in the labor force has had a big impact on family responsibilities like child care and housework. Though men are contributing more to these responsibilities, women still shoulder the bulk of the work. For working women, these household obligations constitute a "second shift."

no mention of male victims of domestic or sexual violence, or impoverished males.
