Patriarchy

Kita pleads with the men for something to drink. Prior to the party, her boyfriend told her she was not allowed to drink. Even though her boyfriend had left the room, his friends would not give her a drink.

The men are all outside conversing, and taking in the nights air. while the woman are left to wait on them in bed, bored.


If we didn't abide, there would be no patriarchy.

These images evoke the meaning of patriarchy in it's realest form. The fact that this can easily be overthrown if the women in these pictures stood up for themselves and not the rules set by men. AT this point, I believe it is a subconscious hold that men have over certain women. Kita could easily take a drink since she is of legal age and is an independent college student, but instead she chooses and has a hand in keeping patriarchy in a position not to be questioned.
