Abstract

The patriarchal society we live in is constantly displayed and reproduced. Indeed, this society rooted in lack of equality awareness, including the gender issue, is characterized by social, economic, political, and cultural traits that are transmitted between generations. Through generalizing the idea that there exist different attributes related to each gender, there has been created the concept of «masculine» traits as universally dominant. However, does this necessarily mean that the process for equality should disregard today’s conceptions as a whole? There is the need to stop and analyze whether there have been any changes, either positive or negative, in regards to views and conceptions included in the «endoculture» process of previous generations. Research should focus on how to accelerate change taking into account the multiple tools to use. This process of empowerment, rather than change, can be accomplished through various ways. The media, social networks, informal meetings, are all useful; ways, but they must always be managed under the most relevant tool: education with feminist ideals.
