Abstract

The study examines the involvement of men in the women's movement in Pakistan, which is a patriarchal society. The interviews with progressive men and women, who are actively engaged in the feminist movement in Pakistan reveal the changing dynamics of family structure in Pakistan, and discussed the emerging role of the liberal father as male allyship in women's emancipation and eliminating gender inequalities. The study discusses the effects of digital feminism in Pakistan in involving men in the women's movement as bridging social capital, producing responsible behavior among men, and challenging patriarchy through new fathers. In a patriarchal society, where the dominancy of the father is blindly followed, digital feminism is now altering the father's rule into male allies, producing a concept of new a father, which is challenging the patriarchal notions of masculinity and hegemony. The new father is a symbol of a new dominant figure, who is responsible and transforming the domestic patriarchy, to maintain equality at home and would bring change to the social structure at large.
新父亲是女性运动中的男性盟友:数字女性主义在重塑父权行为中的作用
这项研究调查了巴基斯坦男权社会中男性参与妇女运动的情况。对积极参与巴基斯坦女权运动的进步男女的采访揭示了巴基斯坦家庭结构的变化动态,并讨论了自由主义父亲在妇女解放和消除性别不平等中作为男性盟友的新兴作用。该研究讨论了数字女权主义在巴基斯坦的影响,包括让男性参与妇女运动,作为社会资本的桥梁,在男性中产生负责任的行为,并通过新父亲挑战父权制。在盲目追随父权的父权社会中,数字女性主义正在将父亲的统治转变为男性盟友,产生了一种新父亲的概念,挑战着男权主义和霸权主义的观念。新父亲是一个新的主导人物的象征,他负责并改变家庭父权制,以维持家庭的平等,并将给整个社会结构带来变化。
