Document Summary
There may be male domination in most societies historically. Hh says that patriarchy has taken different forms of patriarchy; not just one system of male domination everywhere in all times. She says that we need more historical subtly in our understanding. There are also inequalities among men in capitalist societies (notably, class differences as well as racial differences) There will typically be inequalities among men as a group, and among women as a group (they will not be equally situated in a society) Patriarchy also establish different links between men as a group, and women as a group: position as women of a group is different as the position of men as a group. Many people accept that people are above them, as long as there are people below them. Hh acknowledges that there are class differences in capitalist societies, as well as gender and racial-ized class structures (eg. White working class men have a social advantage)
