The ‘Declining Significance’ or the ‘Changing Forms’ of Patriarchy?

Abstract: The concept of patriarchy may be attributed to a number of interpretations that involve different notions such as gender inequality, and a certain degree of systematicity that suggests how the various facets of gender relations may be in a way related.

“…This gender order encourages women's high fertility (Fargues, ). It also favours women's confinement to domestic spaces (Fargues, ) and their active exclusion from public life (Walby, ), both of which represent a cultural ideal whose actual fulfilment depends on class, caste and ethnicity (Kandiyoti, ). Older women choose their sons’ brides, suppress conjugal love to the greatest extent possible (Brink, ; Olmsted, ) and try to manipulate their sons’ affections to ensure their support in old age (Kandiyoti, ).…”

Pour une analyse fouillée du patriarcat, voir l'étude classique de Kate Millett (1971) et les travaux de Sylvia Walby (1990,1996) Une critique fondamentale qu'il est possible d'adresser à plusieurs interventions d'éducation sexuelle est qu'elles véhiculent souvent une représentation essentialiste de la sexualité.…”

“…En effet, on vise dans le programme l'intégration personnelle des aspects physiques, affectifs et comportementaux de la sexualité, ses aspects sociaux et politiques plus larges étant peu abordés.
