Why is Patriarchate still exists? 2nd edition. Gilligan K., Snyder N.

What allows Patriarchate to maintain stability and resist the changes? In this original and convincing book, Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snyder claim that Patriarchate still exists because he performs a certain psychological task. Demanding from us to sacrifice love for the sake of a hierarchical structure, the patriarchy protects us from a vulnerability associated with love, and becomes protection from loss. Exposing the nature of very effective psychological mechanisms that underlie the patriarchal order, the authors show that the policy that seems to us inexplicable is directed by the forces that are not realized by us. This book, one of the authors of which is the influential refinedant-feminist, will be unusually interesting to everyone who is bothering our chaotic psycho-political times.
