Talk:Patriarchy/Archive 2

patriarchy. Many women seek partners who will adopt the "breadwinning" role, and complain if the men do not fulfil this role. The parenthetical comment "by default" is technically redundant. Either the woman heads the home or she doesn't. "By default" does provide additional information, it specifies that the man is not actually attempting to head the home. To provide the extra information reveals the writer believes readers will find this significant, and the writer is correct. It seems odd to have a female head, and so the reason is concisely provided -- the female headship is by default, there is no man attempting to head the family. In a society where women were expected to head the family, or in one where it could be either man or woman at random, or in a society where there were no family heads, in these cases the comment "by default" would be poor communication, as it stands however, it expresses what it wants to refer to very nicely indeed.

Patriarchy (anthropology) which was only a stub. If those who opened and maintain that section are happy to host the material, I will remove it from the main Patriarchy entry. Wiki is a team effort I am not willing to merge without consultation. I am willing to wait for comment from active, contributing editors. What is important is that sourced and verifiable content not disappear into limbo. Unsourced, unverifiable material can be deleted at any time, especially if it is slander of living people, or political or commercial advertising.

some left wing women's rights group telling her, rather than some right wing male supremicist group telling her, nice health professionals accidentally stumbled on some important biological data ... male and female biology are different and it affects how they behave. It's no longer a matter of opinion, or of who you trust, or what lobbyists can get through the political system ... it's a matter of what can be repeated in laboratories and confirmed. Phew! says Jill, I'm glad that's all clear now, it was driving me crazy.

view are to be presented, not just the most popular one. It should also not be asserted that the most popular view or some sort of intermediate view among the different views is the correct one. Readers are left to form their own opinions. As the name suggests, the neutral point of view is a point of view, not the absence or elimination of viewpoints. It is a point of view that is neutral – that is neither sympathetic nor in opposition to its subject.

out of the power and simplicity of functional grammatical analysis of language. However, there are many cases where understanding substantive use of adjectival forms is of assistance in understanding language use, so traditional terminology is far from vanishing. In my own field of dead languages, traditional terminology is decidedly dominant. Personally, I use whichever has greater explanatory effectiveness in a given situation. So, by all means,

traditional word for formal power being vested only in men. Feminists have changed the terminology though. They have a very good theoretical basis for that too – one thing leads to another, state and family model off one-another. That is feminist original research, that I think is a helpful contribution to human knowledge. I'm not going to quibble over the feminist change of terminology, especially when anthropologists do it too, and did it first.

1723:

theories and political theories though. Scientific theories are synthesised from the empirical data, to build a working explanation and when something is found that conflicts with that, the theory is modified or discounted--political theories are built around preconceived conclusions and all the evidence that conflicts with it is to be ignored or suppressed. Just downright vile, truly. -- 15:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

fashion is often referred to as patriarchal EVEN when a female is teaching. A classroom that teaches in a more holistic and connecting manner, has students seated in a circle or cooperative learning groups has been referred to as matriarchal. The terms are of course changing and morphing as studies into teaching and learning styles deepens, but I believe that this is important to note here in this article.

stored in a table which only opens if people click on it. This seems to be something people are more likely to do than following internal links to other articles. I will make the existing table collapsible as an example. It would take some work to format the list in a similar way, I am willing to do it, but it would have to wait until I have the time. Obviously I'd support someone else doing that work.

709:

might imagine. Also, let me say I really appreciate that you don't hassle me about bias, which you readily can see is not an issue. I take your original research line seriously and in good faith, like all your comments. Without joking about it as flattery, I appreciate defending against the charge because I think that is much more likely to be my weakness. Still, you have not convinced me of it.

1923:

expectations. Furthermore, it would be unjust for an enlightened society to continue such impositions of gender on people based on their sex. The proposed ideal is a gender-free society, where biological sex determines no social expectations of roles or behaviours. Another way of describing it is removing sex based stereotyping -- boys don't cry, girls always change their mind, etc., etc.

576:

whole section is still incomplete, though, (and flagged as such) it is just a stub for a fuller article at the moment. Only a summary will remain here I expect. Follow the internal links if you want to know more. The entries for Money and Diamond (kinda cute pair of names, lol) cover pretty much all the general things I've learned about them and point to some helpful offsite pages.

619:

crossed in an article, most logical connections must be left to the reader. In this case though, I agree with you in essence, that male gorillas are dominant is no argument that male humans will be dominant. That false argument is normally presented the other way though. For example, female bonabos are dominant shows female humans can be dominant. Of course it shows no such thing.

352:. The Batek are actually from Malaysia, which is close enough to Indonesia linguistically to explain the familiar sound of names and titles. The same Indonesian friend was intrigued to learn (because of the flag) that the Iban are actually Indonesian. In fact, she and I were in Borneo studying a school with many Dyak children in January 2007. 1283:

time. That's not too much of a problem, though, because we have plenty of documents over the last 5,000 years describing contact between literate societies and those without writing, who were often considered "primitive", and were indeed generally less complicated in social structures (which is what is probably meant by "primitive").

125:. Finally, there are a smaller number of writers, but from a very wide range of different areas and interests who use the word too, this group includes writers who used the word before anthropology or feminism really started. (One such group is the eastern orthodox Christian churches, who have used it for more than a thousand years.) 797:

matriarchy page? If you think the material is relevant to matriarchy, please copy it there, or link to it from there (at the moment that page tells only one side of the story, but tells it well and I like it). I will not remove what you copy to the matriarchy page if you do that, but nor will I restore it if people delete it there.

good ol' Wiki democracy). We can't work together to change things for the better unless you actually make a specific point. If your point is that you grant that the article presents existing sources, but does so in a way that makes a new point, which is, in fact, merely the view of the editor, please state what that point is.

364:

any more. Some people are visual learners (in fact most), it is certainly true of me, the flags have helped me internalize the locations of all the fascinating peoples in that list. I greive that so many of these societies have had their unique cultures swamped by globalization. Can't say that in the article though.

1289:

usually have strong social systems. There's enough for patriarchy anyway, but that's not necessarily enough to avoid anarchy. What I mean is, if every man and his family do what they like, without having clan chiefs, that's pretty close to anarchy, while still having patriarchy, if you see what I mean.

2342:

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on

2180:

This article has far too much on subjects other than patriarchy, and very little on the subject of patriarchy itself. Every article needs expository sentences, which are supposed to lead to a better understanding of the subject at hand - but too much of this article is written like an essay, assuming

2073:

values women who adopt a certain stereotypical and traditional, but popular, role. Pro-patriarchy advocates have pointed out that patriarchal societies will simply out-breed non patriarchal societies, and that there may even be evidence of historical trends of this kind. There are extreme views among

1774:

I repeat, "for normal people, who are not gender politicians, I think it is very positive to know that it is medical researchers who keep proving feminists wrong." Of course, what would be even better is if feminists responded to criticisms and reformed themselves ... and in fact there is quite a bit

1722:

I see your rationale, perhaps the bit about that panel of feminists can go into the feminist criticism section. I find their complaints about the fact that biological reality doesn't coincide with their ideology very amusing though, and terribly, terribly sad. That's the difference between scientific

1671:

The second idea engages with things that Goldberg says, but are not written into the text of the article, as yet. He makes the comment that patriarchy is not truly inevitable, it could be prevented by biological intervention. If you ask me, that would be horrifyingly unethical, Goldberg implies that,

1506:

I do not know much about Celts or Scandinavians, but I'm sure others do. Since there are many people who have looked for matriarchal societies, and they are very smart, I'm sure they have proposed the best possible examples. Those are all dealt with in the table. A detailed listing of the evidence is

1482:

I also agree that most societies throughout history have given high status to the role of motherhood. Several writers have noted a connection between the mutual dependence of social values given to patriarchy and motherhood. Devalue motherhood, and patriarchy is also devalued; devalue patriarchy, and

1454:

Also, I believe that the article should be expanded. As a teacher the words patriarchal and matriarchal are also used in refering to teaching styles or even the way a business functions. In regards to the classroom: a teaching style which is authoritarian, has seats in rows, and teaches in a linear

1450:

Prior to that there were indeed matriarchal cultures. I would suggest looking at past "myths" in antiquity. The representation of Gods and Goddesses rather than one God shows a mixture of matriarchal and patriarchal ruling. In many ancient cultures women's power of childbirth was revered. I would

1403:

Feel free to add captions and edit text in the article. I've expanded the caption. It now spells out that because the man is standing, he appears to be responsible for his family. The age of the photograph helps people think back to a time when this kind of social structure was the encouraged "norm".

1335:

Also, although it would be nice if everything in Wiki was true, actually that's not the aim of an encyclopedia. What an encyclopedia does is record what people know and think about things. Hopefully this will include lots of true things. However, sometimes people don't agree about what is true, so we

1025:

First, focus: I repeat from above, each item on the list is a description of an authoritative source describing a patriarchy. Are patriarchal societies relevant to an article on patriarchy? I honestly can't find an argument against that. Second, brevity: again as recorded in the article, of more than

943:

Now here are my questions. Do we need more information regarding those who defend the moral advantages of patriarchy? Do we need more information regarding the biological influences on patriarchal behaviour in humans? Do we need more information regarding cross-cultural evidence of patriarchy? Or ...

587:

Regarding synthesis, at another entry I wrote up for Wiki, I was awarded a "Quote farm" tag. I checked the Wiki style guide which recommended synthesis and paraphrase rather than a sequence of direct quotes. It said there were exceptions like lists etc. There's always room for personal taste in these

581:

Diamond is not directly interested in patriarchy, nor are the other biologists, which makes them excellent objective evidence to confirm Goldberg's hypothesis. Goldberg is the critic of the critics, he predicted biology would provide an explanation for male dominance behaviour, he was right; but just

347:

Regarding flags, some friends of mine were giving me feedback as I wrote the article. These included Australians, Indonesians, Turks, Brazilians, Germans, Indians and Americans. Several mentioned that names of people and titles of roles seemed familiar to them (before I provided the flags). The flags

245:

brain makes males more agressive. This explains the observation made by anthropologists that all known human societies are patriarchal. The bonobo is probably an example of a species where biology makes the female more aggressive, which would explain female alphas in that species. Dominance behaviour

1812:

structure which places men in the position of "head of the family" continues to be a large part of national culture in the U.S. This gender-based hierarchical social model has implications in all aspects of life from politics to personal safety. Contemporary feminists argue that gender oppression is

1699:

I've lived with this article for a long time, I'd love others to be involved. I'll adopt some of the suggestions prompted by the criticism if I don't hear more from you, but it'd be great if either of you wanted to do some of this yourselves, or if you wanted to make other contributions we can think

1678:

Again, I'm happy to put some work into reconstructing this section, or supporting someone else who does so. We could cite info from the TV show with the feminists, a review is available online. We could also quote Goldberg on biological intervention. This can be integrated with the other POV that is

1658:

In summary, if the real objection to the list is mainly the comment that it is long, and that people who do not object to patriarchy don't need it to convince them of anything, I agree with those comments. However, there are too many people who object to patriarchy and want the list to go because it

1494:

our oldest written records from the region. It is now common knowledge that many features of the religions we know include aspects of both the cultures that preceded and the cultures that surrounded Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Paul and Mohammed. I'm not aware of any current respectable scholars who would

1282:

The thing that first jumps to my mind here is how the anarchy page can verify that, "'primitive' or hunter-gather societies throughout the world's history" were anarchies and anti-authoritarian. Before 3,000 BC everyone is guessing, because we have no written documents describing society before that

1038:

Now, there is an alternative, we could delete all the references to possible matriarchal societies across Wiki, and protect the secondary and tertiary citations that verify the majority view, and leave it at that. That would help brevity, but that doesn't make sense to me, as claims for matriarchies

900:

of patriarchy angle, and win space for it by merging the Patriarchies in dispute section to Patriarchy (anthropology). That will have to wait, because I know what will happen. "Edit wars" will resume. Anonymous users will daily delete that section until admin are forced to place a "protected" tag on

732:

Monarchy is defined in this article, anarchy isn't, the "an" in anarchy is a negating prefix, so the word means no-rule, as I'm sure you know. Actually, "androcracy" (krat, being the Greek root for power), is used rather than "virarchy" (which would mix Latin and Greek); and yes, "androcracy" is the

618:

I really appreciate this direct interaction with the logical flow of the material presented in the article. Yes, the logic is not made explicit in the article for two reasons. Firstly, because the Biology of gender section is explicitly incomplete, and secondly because not every i can be dotted or t

519:

This issue is an important one, because there are a significant number of people with medical variation from the normal female body and female mind pattern. These people want to understand themselves and be understood by other people. If society insists (contrary to the facts now known), that gender

2207:

I don't see how the lead image illustrates "patriarchy". The caption reads "Patriarchy — father-centred", but the father isn't in the center of the image (the mother is) and there is nothing in the image to indicate the father has the most central role in that family. I suggest the image be removed

2095:

You haven't read the article you are commenting on. Simone de Beauvoir is quoted on this in this article. She is not the only source I have on this, it's a standard dating. Relevance is that the edit dated challenges to patriarchy to the 60s. Not a big difference, but no sources were quoted, seemed

2068:

Your questions prove the point I was making is clear. The majority of women choose family over career and hence appreciate men who invest in providing the financial resources for them to devote maximum attention to child-raising. Show me statistics that say otherwise. Few feminists would deny this.

1770:

Are you suggesting that people who believe 1+1=2 should not be involved in an article on addition? That the only people who should write articles are people who don't have sufficient grasp of the issues to have come to any conclusions? Or are you saying, more likely, that unless one understands the

1762:

I think you are mistaking the fact that I certainly believe gender to be strongly influenced by biology (that's what the scientific and informed literature say), for some other thing. I am quite sure some people have ideologically motivated positions regarding gender, who do not consider themselves

1682:

For normal people, who are not gender politicians, I think it is very positive to know that medical researchers keep proving feminists wrong, simply by accident as they try to find cures for diseases. These diseases are not subject to EEO legislation and so sometimes discriminate against one gender

1654:

Redundancy, is not necessarily an issue across articles, but obviously always is so within articles. If "messiness" is an issue, we can tidy, rather than simply leave the mess at another article. There is also the option of making information "collapsible" -- i.e. the data stays at the page, but is

1487:

hereditary monarchy and "royal blood" so highly that Tutankhamen was succeeded by an uncle who married a grand-daughter, because they had the purest bloodline. Egyptians, like every society, consider incest taboo, but they were willing to make exceptions for their "higher ideals" concerning royalty.

1486:

I have personally been researching gender in the Ancient Near East. Egypt did have some female Pharoahs. Hachepsut and, much later, Cleopatra are two famous examples. Their cabinet ministers, governors, priests, generals, merchants and landowners remained men during their rule. The Egyptians valued

1029:

Returning to focus, the selection of the societies is simple, any society seriously claimed to be matriarchal is listed (non-serious fantasy suggestions like Amazons and Kubla Khan are excluded). Wiki can do better than the "no matriarchies" claim of Britannica, given the storage space available to

935:

However, the moral question for or against patriarchy is not the only issue related to the subject. There is a separate but related question. Are gender roles 100% determined by society and therefore changeable, are they 100% determined by biology so something we should learn to live with, or is it

923:

Dear readers, especially Bill, please help me. I want to make a concession to Bill. I stand by everything I've written in discussion above, but want to move on from those points. What is important in the discussion above is that Bill asks all the right questions about the article conforming to Wiki

802:

A wise Wikipedian pointed out to me, if you think an article is POV, correct that by addition, not subtraction. I personally am in favour of free speech and against censorship. The matriarchy page is POV, but done appropriately. Putting the case for patriarchy there would swamp the minority view. I

ranging from chromosomal, hormonal, gonadal, genital, physical, identity and role up to sexual orientation. This taxonomy follows the known development of sexual characteristics in humans. In other words, there are not two aspects to femaleness and maleness but many. Chromosomal and hormonal are at

394:

I'm pretty much with you on that one, Bill. I admire what I've read about them very much indeed. Since you mention it, I will seek an indiginous symbol for them and add it if I find one. I won't take the US flag away though, many are Americans, I presume their fellow citizens are proud to be united

363:

Another reason the flags are there is to communicate that they are real societies. I added internal links for the same reason. Until I researched the section, I hadn't heard of any but the Iroqois and Filipinos/Filipinas. As far as I knew, people had just made up the societies, or they didn't exist

278:

I think your question can be answered by a close reading of the 2nd half of the article. (And seriously: what do the national flags add to the article? They, like the laundry list they decorate, undermine your attempts to present serious scholarly work in std enclopedic fashion.) Dirty secret: an

192:

Actually, I'm hoping we can do the same with the Biology of gender subsection. It also deserves its own main entry. In other words we could merge most of this section into a new article, there's just not enough writing done on it yet. Again, you will be helping if you can expand that section in the

2000:

Actually, this is a substantive use of an adjective. Other examples are: "radicals propose we ..."; "the young believe ..."; "the curious can visit ..." etc. etc. There is a growing movement in English grammar education to name adjectives and participles used substantively as nouns. This has grown

1766:

You have me totally wrong. Notice, I'm far too polite to document the mistakes people make, to discredit them and hope that wins people for some alleged agenda of my own. That some well-known feminists handle a question poorly doesn't say all that much about feminism, and it certainly says nothing

1758:

Hello anonymous, a very late reply from me. There is nothing political in suggesting that Jill Average would be relieved to hear that some breast cancer researcher earned her Nobel Prize demonstrating correlations between hormones and behaviour as an accidental finding of her research. Rather than

1647:

When the list is in the article, people complain it is long and ugly. When it is not in the article people challenge the whole article because it is not grounded in sufficient cross-cultural fact. The latter seems the more disturbing issue. The way forward seems to be improving the presentation of

1288:

Now, I'm afraid my knowledge of the 1,500-2,000 or so known societies of human history is quite limited. I know the ancient near east, and I know about socities with high levels of focus on women, but that's about it. What I have picked up, though, is that even the most primitive seeming societies

1150:

The main thing is the article is suffering from information overload. A small amount of info well organized is more useful than a large jumble of information. I suggest drawing up an outline for the article on paper. Before adding any further information organize what you have and then look and

947:

The other reason to focus on the science in this article is because that is what has changed most in the last 30 years. It is likely to trigger a lot of debate into the future. It is verifiable and important, without telling people what to think about how to organize life or society, it can inform

931:

The obvious points of view regarding patriarchy are feminism, which is against it, and "conservative family values", which are broadly in favour of it. As it turns out, this article does not actually put the "family values" argument. Personally, I don't think that is too much of a problem, because

904:

I consider it a miracle that the anti-feminists have not been removing the Feminist criticism section. It was mainly to establish the stability of that section that I wrote this article in the first place. (I came to this entry while researching patriarchy in feminism.) That's why the article only

790:

confusing, perhaps it could be clarified by calling it "Patriarchies claimed by some to be matriarchies". This seems rather a cumbersome way of dealing with what most readers are, I think, smart enough to work out for themselves. It's a matter of how much faith we have in our readers. I will trial

575:

I added a quote for a 2006 article before seeing this comment, that should answer your fair request for a citation. Mind you, the Harvard book citation that has stood since I first created the section is sufficient to establish almost everything stated (except the genetic stuff which is new). That

357:

The backhanded compliment that the article is too interesting to be POV offsets yet another overly personal comment regarding "laundry list". Personally, I find that list fascinating, however, it is not there to stimulate people, but as a reference (which is why it comes last in the article). When

306:

The neutral point of view is a means of dealing with conflicting views. The policy requires that, where there are or have been conflicting views, these should be presented fairly. None of the views should be given undue weight or asserted as being the truth, and all significant published points of

268:

Dear Dr Bill, thanks again for your interaction. As an aspiring postgrad, I take your first sentence as a compliment. The second, however, looks like a personal comment, but I can live with it. You are welcome to view the article however you like, even delete it if you wish (but I will restore it,

1753:

In re: the above comment "For normal people, who are not gender politicians, I think it is very positive to know that medical researchers keep proving feminists wrong..." The irony of this statement is that it is extremely, blithely political and smacks very much of gender based ideology. Someone

Wiki. That's ok, 'cause those articles are simply reporting minority points of view. The natural place for the data, on which the majority report of expert opinion that "patriarchy is everywhere" is based, is Patriarchy, of course. What else do we do? Say there is so much evidence of this, but we

927:

What I would love to hear feedback on is the following. Above I deny that this article has a "thesis" or presents an "argument". This may seem strange and is a little technical. The important challenge Bill raises is that if the article does argue for something, then that makes it a thesis. It is

1926:

This is a POV definition, but notable because of its fairly wide acceptance in literate circles in Western, English-speaking culture. It is far from uniformly accepted, however, and doesn't quite work in many other languages, which only have one word for sex/gender. It also seems contrary to the

1922:

The usual definition is that gender is a set of anachronistic, culturally imposed norms of behaviour and values expected of and distinguishing between each biological sex. The argument is that these differ from society to society, which shows there's nothing universal or necessary about any such

1667:

There are two ideas behind this section. Firstly, an objection to the biological research is that it is misogynist and a tool of the patriarchy to keep women in their place. Apparently there was a television program where a panel of feminists were asked to respond to biological research results.

1565:

Are you suggesting the hypothetical concept of matriarchy is unrelated to patriarchy? Are you suggesting that saying "all societies everywhere have always been patriarchies" is better than saying "no societies have ever been matriarchies"? Paragraph two is Britannica saying the second. Paragraph

1300:

I think what anarchy is about is at a higher level than the family though. The anthropologists say all societies have marriage, family and an incest taboo. Obviously those are all family matters. I'm sure anarchy is still anarchy even if families are pretty stable, if there's no government, it's

708:

Bill, you have a great sense of humour and a quick wit, not to mention other obvious indicators of a keen analytical mind and social sensitivity. I really appreciate your comments and they have helped stimulate and clarify my own thinking, you have influenced more of what I have written than you

326:

I must ask again, please be specific, what is the thesis of the article? I am not aware of there being such a thing. I do intrude editorial comment, namely arguments in favour of both science and ethics. These are provided precisely to ensure that well known and divergent views on the subject of

2046:

The point is that the patriarchal nature of our society is revealed in its persistant assumptions. We still assume the man is head of the home if present. There is a lot of feminist literature pointing out that women are frequently the ones demanding certain roles of men, and hence perpetuating

1643:

After that there were many incidents where people dropped in to this page and removed the lines in the lead-in regarding "no matriarchies". Someone said matriarchy is irrelevent to patriarchy and shouldn't be discussed here. There is also a comment above about there not being enough research to

1591:

I agree that there is an over-focus on the concept of matriarchy that is inappropriate here. The subject is "patriarchy" and should be primarily focused on that; a mention of "matriarchy" as an alternative model and a link to that page should suffice. Generally, there are several gaps that need

1329:

These might seem funny points to make. The theory of patriarchy is that IF there is a heirarchy, men will jump for the top jobs ... then you get patriarchy. BUT if there is no heirarchy, there's nothing for men to go for, so there's no patriarchy, just anarchy. Can you see how that resolves the

1294:

Both patriarchy and anarchy are not ON and OFF switches, they are more like volume controls, they slide from 0% to 100%. Yes, at a family level, 100% anarchy would mean 0% patriarchy, and that probably never happens; but let's say 50%-50% seems likely. Say children tend to put their own desires

patriarchy. However, the feminist analysis is considerably more widely published – thousands of works. My current editorial judgement is to stick to the scientific angle as much as possible – etymology, history, anthropology and biology. I have kept the moral debate to a minimum, and chosen the

Hi friends, I've done a bit of work on this article and should be around for a couple of years or so watching it. So edit and comment away and there'll be at least one interested person to respond to you. Please note the talk header if you're new to Wiki. It's especially important on this page,

Setting aside this lengthy, extremely ironic discussion of "normal" people (i.e., vs. feminists), the problem still remains that an article on patriarchy doesn't need a long, rather conspicuous, discussion on the biology of gender. This belongs rather on a separate page on--say--the subject of

796:

Personally, I find it hard to see why a list of patriarchies would be relevant at the matriarchy page, or I would place them there. It is especially odd because of more than a thousand cultures in the standard literature, near all are patriarchies, does that seem helpful to the argument of the

Thanks for your feedback. As you can see, I also changed things in line with your suggestions. Yes, I think there are serious issues with the politics of this subject -- bad logic and errors leading to damaged people, all for the sake of oiling squeaky wheels -- i.e. political expediency. IMO

1478:

Hello 207.127.241.2, greetings. I'm not sure what kind of bias you see in this article. One edit of the current form of the text accused other editors of being "g**dammed feminists". It is true that there is only criticism of Patriarchy documented on the page, and no record of the substantial

The WP software is telling me the Patriarchy article is long and recommends some subsections become stubs for new main entries, retaining only a summary at Patriarchy. The longest section is the Patriarchies in dispute section. This material is all anthropological, so I copied that section to

Secondly, since feminist criticism of patriarchy normally proceeds on the basis that there are no biological grounds for it, i.e. it is a cultural phenomenon that can be reversed, it is necessary to address the issue. There is an alternative, we can remove feminist criticism from the article.

Despite being sourced material, the discussion of gene expression is irrelevant to patriarchy--it appears to be present simply to sugar-coat the misandrist views of Pierre Bourdieu, and speculative fantasy about medical emasculation. This is very biased, and not at all encyclopedic.
