That is very rarely used as a definition of Patriarchy Theory.
There are far more common uses
It's the most widely used in feminist theory.
Maybe laymans use it less
It is not the most widely used.
Then why is Duluth's model based on it
Do feminists believe in patriarchy theory, yes or no
I dunno. The duluth model is not the be all and end all of feminist theory, despite what so many think
Check the wiki. You'll find the instances of the uses of patriarchy theory
Which wiki?
It's a feminist formulation
Any wiki
How about Geek Feminism's wiki?
"the system of gender-based hierarchy in society which assigns most power to men, and assigns higher value to men, maleness, and "masculine traits"."
Fits pretty well with most gender theories
(note how men's issues is not included in the higher value list)
This definition is reductionist as the rest
Power is not limited to the male gender
"most"
Male power occurred due to a variety of reasons
Ding ding ding
That's the price of power
Aye, it is
>Ding ding ding
Is that the menslib way or the chapo way
chapo?
And no, it has nothing to do with any affiliation to any group
Feminism is defined as the 'advocacy for women's rights on the basis of equality'
This in itself assumes that equality will be attained if *women are raised to men*.
The word feminism in itself assumes that men have no problems.
That is the worst interpretation I have ever seen \
it doesn't assume anything like that
Equality will not be attained if you just advocate for women's rights
It's the dictionary definition of feminism
And feminism has no monopoly over the narrative
That's why mrm is here
Feminism started off as working at one issue, and has grown from there.
great, the MRM is here, to work ALONGSIDE feminism
that would be a help
But no, the two movements clash against each other non-stop
If they are Antagonistic, we can do nothing with them
At this point, a feminist has just said the same thing
They must first remove all the sexist laws they have made
