Theory This theory hopes to change the currently dominant view of heteropatriarchy and the reliant heterosexuality and patriarchy as normal while other configurations are considered abnormal. It then perpetuates an environment of oppression and inequality for racial and sexual minority groups.Decolonizing Feminism: Challenging Connections between Settler Colonialism and Heteropatriarchy. Feminist Formations. 2013. Heteropatriarchy is a facet of popular feminist analysis used to explain modern hierarchical social structure, which is dependent upon and includes the perspective of gender roles, based on a system of interlocking forces of power and oppression. It is commonly understood in this context that men typically occupy the highest positions of power and women experience the bulk of social oppression. This system of socio-political dominance is reinforced by gender norms, which ascribe traits of femininity and masculinity to men and women; whereby cisgender heterosexual men are favored and are routinely remunerated for presenting masculine traits. Conversely, women or people who display traits deemed feminine receive less societal privilege. Historically this has manifested in economic disadvantages such as unequal pay, or the inability for women to own land. However the theory fails to acknowledge any changes within the last hundred years and the goals obtained Dr. Martin Luther King. The practice of legal (and social) culture of relegating gender to the realm of "women's issues" and sexual orientation to the realm of "sexual minorities' issues” is fundamental to a heteropatriarchal society.Coombs, Mary (1996) "Comment: Between Women/Between Men: The Significance for Lesbianism of Historical Understandings of Same-(Male)Sex Sexual Activities," Yale Journal of Law & the Humanities: Vol. 8: Iss. 1, Article 9. Heterosexual men are not only given primacy over other gender and sexual minorities, but are also encouraged and rewarded. On the microscopic level, heteropatriarchy could be evident in consumption habits and relationships while on the macroscopic level it is demonstrated by the glass ceiling, marriage, and the legal control over female bodies. While at the same time ignoring advances such as Roe vs. Wade. Heteropatriarchy is attempting to regulate the bodies of Indigenous women, queer, and trans people and sets out to destroy, control, and manipulate these difference into hierarchies eliminating currently held opinions held by billions. The theory states that the effects of heteropatriarchy have disproportionately affected minority groups, indigenous people, and the lgbtqia+ community.
