Abstract

POST-PATRIARCHY: KAPLANk85 economic support. But, just as feudalism is primarily a system of extracting labor from people who defer because they are powerless, so patriarchy has always been nothing more than a system of male domination, The apparent changes in how power is wielded may be related to the increasing consolidation of private property in the hands of a smaller and smaller number of men, and with the globalization of labor, so that capitalists are no longer concerned with reproducing the labor force. Focusing on capitalism and exploitation does not alone explain male domination or its attendant brutalization of women and children, but frequently overlooked patterns do appear. In surges beginning with the first European imperialism of the fifteenth century and occurring in certain places up to our own time, people freed from servitude on the land also suffered from being pushed off the land without any means of employment in the cities. With the destruction of feudalism in parts of western Europe, the colonial reorganization of land in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, the end of slavery in the United States and Brazil in the nineteenth century, and the increased mechanization of agriculture around
