A patriarchal society is where men hold positions of control and are considered more important than women.

To subvert means to undermine the power or authority of an established system by going against the rules.

A stereotype is a set idea that people have about what someone or something is like.

Being subservient means you’re willing to do what other people want and consider your own wishes less important.
