Description
Why Does Patriarchy Persist? by Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snider explores a provocative idea: that patriarchy endures because it serves a psychological function.
The authors argue that the hierarchical structures of patriarchal societies protect us from vulnerability by requiring us to sacrifice love for the sake of order. This perspective offers a fresh understanding of why patriarchy persists, even in the face of activism and advocacy for equal rights.
Through their analysis, Gilligan and Snider uncover the underlying psychological mechanisms that drive patriarchal systems, revealing how forces beyond our awareness may be shaping our politics.
