00:00See, patriarchy is a great bondage. Patriarchy is a state of mind. And what is it state of mind?
00:07Patriarchy is to believe that your job in life is determined by your gender. That is patriarchy.
00:14Now, patriarchy is oppressive both ways. Men have been told that your purpose, your station,
00:21your movement, your activities, your thoughts, your emotions, everything have to be determined
00:25by your gender. And women have been told much the same thing, right? So, it's not men versus women.
00:32It's wisdom versus ignorance. Obviously, men are the ones who exploit and oppress. But if you go a little
00:39deeper into it, as Vedanta encourages you to, you will say, no, it's not that men are oppressing women.
00:45There is a common enemy. And the name of that common enemy is ignorance. It is because of ignorance
00:52that men continue to be men and women continue to be women.
