The Oppression Of Both Men And Women In Patriarchal Culture.
This paper will discuss two broad areas of inquiry: the way in which gender roles within patriarchy may oppress both genders; and the gains and loses a patriarchal culture hands out to both genders. While some of the more notorious effects of a patriarchal culture are obvious enough, the thesis here is cautious and argues that a patriarchy alone is not sufficient to explain (or subsume) all human ills. 6 pgs. 6 f/c. 7b.
