two parter! Two parter!
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.
Does Gerda Lerner get a mention?
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
Just how far back historically are we talkin'?
Late medieval period.
I want that article published. In full. All 4.5k words.
XD Its down to just over 4000 now. I'll see if I can get it a bit lower without losing anything.
nooooooo! More words! More wine! More women! More table! (More obscure references!)
What you need is a 'theatrical release' and then a 'director's cut'. :-)
Just 225 tweets :)
Just cut a section,mention it briefly, and do another article on it later, or publish whole thing on blog
