Although some patriarchal cultural practices have apparently sustained peace and order in the society (Ezenwa-Ohaeto, 2015), most of the practices are believed to be in favour of men, and are therefore, oppressive to women. The marginalisation of women in most cultures has now birthed the reality of the ―patriarchal state‖ that functions solely in the interests of men and sustains the stereotypical gender order that supports the oppression of women (Dahlerup, 1987; Kong &Chan, 2000; Wilson, 2013). The gender order, transmitted from generation to generation, subtly ensures the conformity of girls/women to the expected cultural/behavioural values and any female who fails to conform to these cultural expectations are often seen as transgressors in the society (Katongo, 2013; Cheru, 2013). In contemporary times, women‘s quest for freedom from burdensome patriarchal practices has birthed diverse movements locally and internationally. Although the movements operate different ideologies, nevertheless, their united goal is to dethrone/eliminate patriarchy and implement ―a cultural rebirth‖ for the womenfolk (Ezenwa-Ohaeto, 2015, p. 61).
