We are in a transition generation between the old, dying patriarchal system and a future female-led society. Many injustices still exist thus many women are hurt from laws, traditions and prejudices that favor males. However, it would be wrong for women to turn the tables to the place where males are discriminated against in the same manner that the patriarchy has discriminated against women. Granted, some women have been indoctrinated by old societal mindsets to the place where they hold to patriarchal traditions. That is probably the case with your mother. You need to realize the world she was raised in and try to not hold that against her. The great news is that you have been able to break that mindset in your own life and thus your daughters, if you have any, will not face the same degree of discrimination.
