Reasons
Most women contribute to this system because of the unfair advantage they have in the work place or society in general. Most women in the work force are often perceived or viewed as these stereotypes "sex objects, a mother, a child, or an iron maiden". Most women can never escape these perceived labels and fall behind in the workforce, having only access to stereotypical feminine jobs due to glass walls and the glass ceiling. This system allows women to gain some movement in society by abiding to the sexism and gender norms forced upon since the beginning of time.

Effects
" More fundamentally, MacKinnon offers no alternative to patriarchal values. Indeed, her bottom line and key value - power- is a core patriarchal value. Simply seeking more power (as it is currently and patriarchally defined) for women need not threaten patriarchy in the short run. If all that happens in the next ten years is that more male-identified and male-centered women get more power in patriarchal institutions, most women are likely to be no better off than they are today."

"If we could jump into an ideal world without any transition, jump into a world in which women had as much power as men (for example, a world in which 50 percent of those in the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court, and the Cabinet were suddenly women), MacKinnon's solution might work. All those women with power would then be able to reward qualities other than those associated with masculinity, and might well do so. But MacKinnon's approach is not a blueprint for getting to such a world because, in the short term, giving more power only to a few women - those who rise within patriarchal institutions - will not challenge patriarchy.""

"Women's inequality cannot be adequately addressed simply by working to get women "a bigger piece of the pie." If this is all we do, some women will succeed. But the women who succeed will be those who are male-centered and male-identified; who conform to patriarchal values; and who do not seriously threaten the patriarchal order. Moreover, these women will themselves contribute to the oppression of other races, classes, and ethnicities, and of women who are less male-centered and male-identified and who are therefore more threatening to the status quo."

Effects (ready to post)
By women conforming to the patriarchal bargain system, and accepting/negotiating with gender roles and sexism this can have a huge impact on women in society as a whole. It may show that women who succeed will be "those who are male-centered and male-identified; who conform to patriarchal values; and who do not seriously threaten the patriarchal order". They aren't just contributing to the set back of women in general but are also contributing to others who are also effected by the system, such as other races, classes, and ethnicity's.

Other definitions that go along with the term
Before discussing the actual term Patriarchal Bargain there are some important terms that make up the word that should be explained. First, patriarchy, which is a system built on relying through the privilege of class, gender, race, and sexuality. While also relying on the forms of oppression that target these differences, such as violence, bias or even laws to keep this kind of inequality alive.

Gendered nationalism: The theory that concepts of nationalism such as citizenship and national identity, influence and incorporate gender roles. From a feminists theory, the idea that our nation is mainly interested in the support, growth and representation of the male gender, leaving the female gender behind in forms of equal treatment, citizenship, and civil laws. "Women remain in positions of inequality, as evidenced by their low numbers of political representation in governing bodies and their wages relative to men's. The unequal position of women in society, therefore, means an unequal citizenship".

Gender roles: Gender roles in society means how we’re expected to act, speak, dress, groom, and conduct ourselves based upon our assigned sex. For example, girls and women are generally expected to dress in typically feminine ways and be polite, accommodating, and nurturing. Men are generally expected to be strong, aggressive, and bold.

Example Tila Tequila

 * Another example of the patriarchal bargain would be Tila Tequila. Tina is mostly known for her provocative photos on Myspace and posing nude for Playboy magazine. Her popularity from her scandalous photo shoots got her multiple reality TV shows and even a career in music. She embraces her sexuality and is another perfect example of the patriarchal bargain. Her success and fame prove that Tequila has managed to settle with sexism by using the male gaze to her advantage. In 2010 she went to court with her Ex-boyfriend who threatened to release their sex tape they made back when they were still together.
 * “Tequila went to court to get an injunction against the tape’s release, but the judge denied her request, arguing that ‘Tila exploits her sexuality’ anyway”. https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2010/10/14/tila-tequilas-patriarchal-bargain/
 * The judge believed that Tequila’s exploitation of her own sexuality gave everyone else the right to exploit her sexuality as well.
