Document Summary
Primary source (edward 3 and the countess of salisbury) Patriarchy (narrow sense)-system deriving from greek and roman law, complete control over dependent females and makes in the household. Lerner, the creation of patriarchy - "the manifestation and institutionalization of male dominance over women and children in the family and the extension of male dominance over women in society in general. It implies that men hold power in all the important institutions of society and that women are deprived of access to such power . However, it does not imply that women are either totally powerless or totally deprived of rights, influence, and resources". In class, looking at men as men and what this means. Heterosexual culture- primary pairings in society; not universal, has a history and historical context; practice. Homosocial culture- sociosexual context- what relationships are considered central to society"s well orderedness. Between men and men- homosocial context makes some of the complexities more obvious.
