Document Summary
Superiority of leader"s instincts over abstract and universal reason. Celebration of violence and will, when devoted to the group"s success. Right of the chosen people to dominate others without restraint. Sex = physical, is not equal to gender. Gender and sex are two different concepts. Limit options as masculine or feminine, and especially for those not fitting these categories. Against patriarchy: system of rule by men giving them power over in politics, economics, society, etc. Traditional view: politics is public; family and personal relationships are private. Public man dominates the state, education, and economy. Empowerment of women needed = political action and changes (e. g. domestic violence, rape, jobs) Liberals seek equality: everyone treated the same as individuals, before the law, opportunities. Conservatives seek maintaining differences as essential to society: family, mother: Upholding hetereo marriage and family structures is feminism as women take their natural roles.
