    James Brown sings that it is a man's world, but that it would be nothing without women. The excerpt discusses how women are central to male development of culture but are paradoxically built on women's subordinacy. It argues that patriarchal societies deliberately impose womanhood on girls and encourage worship of male gods to foster control. However, feminism is now challenging male oppression and facilitating women's ability to participate equally in all aspects of society. The passage concludes that only chauvinists still believe it is solely a man's world, unveiling their fear of competing in a world where women have equal rights and opportunities.

    “This is a man’s world”

    “This is a man's world


    But it wouldn't be nothing
    Nothing without a woman or a girl”
    (excerpt from James Brown’s lyrics "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World")
    James Brown sings man as an architect of modern living. Yet without a woman or a girl he is “lost in the wilderness”. Women exit for
    companionship and servitude. They are central to male development of culture, paradoxically, built on the foundation of women’s
    subordinacy. Women are the second sex, pathetically oppressed in the monstrous patriarchy.
    Patriarchy manufactures archetype woman even when she is not born. While a boy is considered a “little man”, a girl is taught to be a
    woman. She has no innate "maternal instinct". Society deliberately imposes womanhood in her. She is encouraged worshipping male
    gods which foster imaginary adult lovers in her delicate mind. Such fancy of an airy lover is further tantalized when a girl is inspired playing
    with dolls. Eventually, she becomes a doll in the “doll’s house” where she cannot be herself all because of bourgeois male society. In such
    monopolized world laws are manmade with prosecutors and judges determining feminine conduct from a masculine standpoint." Women
    thus, live upon the mercy of men, behaving like fascists to keep patrimony intact.
    Art too advocates male supremacy. A happy family is a picture of an efficient mother and a working father, always supported by his wife.
    The picture owes much to the epics where women are deliberately confined within domestic peripherals. They are often terrorized of
    being ravished by the vicious world outside. The veiled politics is to ensure of male progression without challenge. Women are made to
    believe that they are born to give birth, rear children and maintain a healthy family.
    But, time invades upon patriarchy with worthwhile wave of feminism. Women rights are challenging the stuffy male oppression. The
    battle for gender equality is facilitating women to unfold their skill in every human sphere. Women are no more the archetype mothers
    but a major part of world’s development. The women’s rights activists from Mary Wollstonecraft to Malala Yousafzai in recent days must
    be applauded for ensuring “girl power” as a continuous threat to patriarchal monopoly. Women are now trained to conquer the world
    than live succumbed to male supremacy. They are independent with their own thoughts, education as well as with their own economy.
    They reap their own harvest and yet they are kind mothers and reliable wives too. Women are naturally skilled for both “home and the
    world.” Only a chauvinist can beat the drum of a man’s world which unveils his fear to survive in the competitive world.
