Patriarchy and The Women Who Keep It Alive: A Colonial and African Lens

We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions.Patriarchy doesn’t just survive because men enforce it. It survives because women uphold it too—not out of cruelty, but because the system made survival depend on compliance. In this episode, Chisom traces the root cause of patriarchy (agriculture, private property, and the control of reproduction), shows how colonialism and religion weaponized it in Africa, and uses her Three Clarities Framework to diagnose why mothers reinforce culture that harm daughters, grandmothers police granddaughters, and women enforce the very systems that broke them. This isn’t about blame. It’s about naming the system—and rooting it out. Support the show-----------------------------------On Overnight Wisdom, new solo episodes drop every Wednesday, with occasional guest and solo conversations released on Sundays.Streaming & Social LinksVisit our website https://overnightwisdom.com/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Chisom-Udeze Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5pD7OuPqWKDsd5ymoo7lSzApple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overnight-wisdom/id1804746544Instagram https://www.instagram.com/overnight.wisdom/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@overnight.wisdomLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/overnightwisdom/ RSS Feed https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2464633.rssConnect with Chisom on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/chisomudeze/
