	Patriarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term patriarchy is also used in systems of ranking male leadership in certain hierarchical churches or religious bodies (see patriarch and Patriarchate).
		In gender studies, the word patriarchy often refers to a social organization marked by the supremacy of a male figure, group of male figures, or men in general.
		Patriarchy as an embodied set of beliefs about the 'natural' gender order (frequently backed up by notions of biological or deific determinism) often operates through a collective willingness towards 'gender blindness', a refusal to observe and study the effects of gender on social relations and power.

	Understanding Patriarchy by bell hooks : AZ IMC
		Patriarchy is a political-social system that insists that males are inherently dominating, superior to everything and everyone deemed weak, especially females, and endowed with the right to dominate and rule over the weak and to maintain that dominance through various forms of psychological terrorism and violence.
		Patriarchy as a system has denied males access to full emotional well-being, which is not the same as feeling rewarded, successful, or powerful because of one's capacity to assert control over others.
		Psychological patriarchy is a "dance of contempt," a perverse form of connection that replaces true intimacy with complex, covert layers of dominance and submission, collusion and manipulation.

	Exorcising Patriarchy
		Patriarchy is defined as “the organization of society on the supremacy of the father in the clan or family, the legal dependence of the wives and children and the reckoning of descent and inheritance in the male line.”
		If we are going to rid society of patriarchy and its oppression of women we must have accurate and precise knowledge of both patriarchy and feminism.
		If we are to replace patriarchy with feminism we must have a clear understanding of feminism, what it is and what it is not.

		I typed in the word "patriarchy" thinking that I would find research on the topic, conferences surrounding the subject, articles, etc. Although these items were there, they were far overshadowed by the atrocities of what I can only describe as patriarchy personified.
		Patriarchy and the fight against it, is difficult to understand given current definitions and views on the subject- so is the concept of radical feminism.

	Encyclopedia of American Conspiracy Theories - Patriarchy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In the 1970s and 80s, the comparison of patriarchy with conspiracy began to be taken more literally, in the works of cultural feminists like Mary Daly and Andrea Dworkin.
		The former, for example, asserted that “males and males only are the originators, planners, controllers, and legitimators of patriarchy” (Daly 1978, 29), while the latter identified rape as in effect a weapon used by men in general to keep women submissive.
		Identifying patriarchy as a conspiracy, even if only metaphorically, nevertheless enabled the feminist movement to make a convincing case that what women were suffering from was not merely personal but part of a larger political problem.

	SermonAudio.com - Patriarchy: A New Legalism?
		It seems to me that patriarchy has all the hallmarks of a cult, as they are elitist, think they are the true church, think other Christians are wrong, and say that their way is the only way.
		To the extent that Patriarchy claims that something is required that God has not required in His Word, or that something is prohibited that God has not prohibited in his Word, to that extent Patriarchy is legalistic.
		There may be some men who see the concept of biblical Patriarchy as a license to become their own Archbishops, but there are a hundred times as many men in the Church today who see “Christian Liberty” as a license to be antinomian.

		Defined narrowly, patriarchy is “a social organization marked by the supremacy of the father in the clan or family, the legal dependence of wives and children, and the reckoning of descent and inheritance in the male line.” This is not always the preferred arrangement in modern families.
		Patriarchy even serves as a convenient villain for a generation of young women who are some of the wealthiest and best situated on the planet.
		Therein lies the rub: Patriarchy was the dominant social arrangement for most of the history of western civilization, a civilization that has produced the expressions of human freedom and individual rights that radical feminists now want to reject.

		"[Patriarchy] competes with many other male visions of the good life, and for that reason alone is prone to come in cycles.
		Yet before it degenerates, it is a cultural regime that serves to keep birthrates high among the affluent, while also maximizing parents’ investments in their children.
		For example, in America's fl ghettos, patriarchy collapsed during the 1960s when the newly generous welfare system came to replace husbands as the prime provider for poor fl mothers.

	Beyond Patriarchy:
		This aspect of family relationships is called patriarchy ("father-rule"), signifying the subordination of wives to husbands and of children to parents.
		Those who defend patriarchy as "natural" often point to the animal kingdom as a model; but traditionally, parental authority and sexual inequality have been far more pronounced in human societies than in most animal societies.
		In the case of husbands and wives, going beyond patriarchy means seeking to foster both a work environment and a home environment that do not systematically disadvantage women in relation to men.

	Welcome to Patriarchy.org
		We part company with some of our Christian brethren in the patriarchy movement because we believe that some women are not only able to do this and work some outside the home, but that they are free to do so, agreeable to their husband as head of their home.
		Some in the patriarchy movement maintain that no woman should work outside the home for an employer other than her husband, and that she should stay home and concentrate on hospitality, or else do something like involve herself more in helps type ministries of the church.
		With a vision to reach those ensnared by legalistic patriarchy, or who may become its next victims, Patriarchy.org is an informational forum teaching and applying God's truth for individuals and ministries of Christ's church.

	SUFFERING PATRIARCHY
		Indeed, the law via the construct of logistic necessity within a flourishing growing society favored Patriarchy, not as a systematic subjugation of women, as the feminist would have us believe, but rather; it was the path of least resistance to a societies well-being; the families well-being; and everyone’s continued growth and benefit.
		Patriarchy was the engineered response to that need, and it evolved through a male-kinship system which regulated the female kinship system, which civilization recognized to be a “lower” or “rudest” order of civilization that lent itself to tribalism.
		Patriarchy is apparently what early human civilization’s “invented” approximately 5,000 years ago, to supplant the idea that if you clearly want to raise a child in the most beneficial, loving environment, the choice must be Patriarchy.

	Swans Commentary: Disassociating Patriarchy From Maleness, by Vanessa Raney - vraney06
		It seems to me that the issue of patriarchy particularly has come to be associated almost entirely with the issue of maleness.
		Thus, to (re)define patriarchy, we must use words other than male, maleness, masculinity, man. We must also be careful not to include contrasts that place men and women in a power struggle, because otherwise we associate with male, maleness, masculinity, man.
		I believe, furthermore, that it's easier to argue that the real problem with patriarchy is that women are made to be excluded and, as a result, to assume inferior positions.

	Political Philosophy of John Locke [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Locke discovers that Filmer accepts that governmental power may be passed on by succession, grant, usurpation, and election, and that Filmer accepts that “it matters not by what Means [a king] came by it.” Filmer’s theory is thus full of contradiction, Locke contends.
		God planted in man the drive to preserve himself; He made the earth’s resources available to him and directed man to use his reason and senses to exploit the earth and its creatures for his benefit, and government is established to preserve a man’s property from the violence of others.
		Firstly, Filmer says evidence of patriarchy is that the ruler possessed the power of death over people — to which Locke replies, anyone may have that power.

		There is also a school of thought that holds that some pre-literate societies were actual matriarchies, and that the high priestess, doing the bidding of her goddess, selected men for a blood sacrifice.
