keeping private the truth about abuse and power in families so the system goes unchallenged

Explanation:

bell hooks, a prominent feminist scholar, argues that women can be complicit in patriarchal norms. This is because patriarchal ideas are deeply ingrained in society, and women, socialized within this system, may unconsciously uphold these norms. For the second question, the "rule of silence" in the context of patriarchy, as hooks describes, refers to keeping private the truth about abuse and power imbalances in families. This silence allows the patriarchal system to remain unchallenged as issues are not brought to light and addressed.

Answer:

For the first question: Women can be deeply complicit in sustaining patriarchal norms.
For the second question: Keeping private the truth about abuse and power in families so the system goes unchallenged.
