    Dear god. Historical look at what patriarchy is & isn't is coming in at 4,500 words. Even the most tolerant editor will balk at this.

        It really needs to stay together. I think, anyway, tho it is half a look at patriarchy in late medieval, early modern England & half now.

        She does not, I'm afraid. I'm not a fan & also looking mostly at Christian societies from late medieval period on.

        Nor me, she's also v dated, but often still cited. Just curious, the v early stuff (pre-ag) interests me a lot. Looking forward to yours.

        I tend to go with an evolutionary psychological explanation for the origins of patriarchy - thinking of the other apes.

        And the tendency for them to be patriarchal when there is competition & conflict & matriarchal when there isn't - very simplistically.

        But I have mostly researched how Christian culture has rationalised & moralised about this & how women have subverted it.

        But here, I am looking at the two arguments that patriarchy was a simplistic power system or because it was a complex one it didn't exist

        And using my period & area - England 1300-1700 - as an example of patriarchy that definitely existed but wasn't the be all &end all of power

        What you need is a 'theatrical release' and then a 'director's cut'. :-)
