Document Summary
Feb. -4-13 (correction from last week: armanian genocide started in 1915) Engles (origins of the family, private property, and the state, 1884): the centrality of productions and reproduction, gender under primitive communism, private property and gender inequality. The ermergence of private property came with the domestication of animal and the want to pass on their herds to their sons. The transformation of matrilineal to patrilineal causes women to lose their higher position: socialism and gender relations: the claim. Inequalities in private quality and gender inequality would disappear with changes to a social society. In some societies women can be penalized in terms of career advancement b/c of pregnancy and other societies can ensure there are acts in place to not penalize pregnancy or child rearing. Example for the ways in which sociological thinking about gender as empligfied by engles is fundamental: a historical phenomenon.
