| 2 | Is the concept of patriarchy falsifiable?Sure, feminism is not a social science in and of itself, but it is a useful tool both in historical analysis and critical theory - both branches of social science. | /r/MensRights | 25/12/10 12:02 AM |
| 2 | Is the concept of patriarchy falsifiable?No, I did not copy and paste it. If I had, I would have linked it. You're right, the question was is patriarchy falsifiable - however much of this debate has been around whether or not social science is a justifiable means of discerning a greater truth. What I was attempting to relay is that understanding historical patterns - and thus present conditions, as our society does not exist within a vacuum - through social sciences is just as important as empirical data from "hard" science - and in th… | /r/MensRights | 24/12/10 11:46 PM |
| 1 | Is the concept of patriarchy falsifiable?Disagree with me in the sense that the BLS illustrates pay discrepancies? because it does.

| 0 | Is the concept of patriarchy falsifiable?I think you're right, it doesn't at all make sense but the data from the bureau of labor statistics illustrates that this is in fact the way American employment functions - regardless of sense. I think that the wage gap based around sexual discrimination could in fact be explained through larger historical trends that start in the transition from feudalism to capitalism, around the 15th century - shortly after the first enclosure movement in England. | /r/MensRights | 24/12/10 09:42 PM |
| 3 | Is the concept of patriarchy falsifiable?I think that one of the things that is largely missing from this discussion is the understanding of feminism as an analytical framework. While some use feminism as an ideology, i think that feminism as used in scholarly work is more relevant when discussed as a way to understand the unfolding of historical patterns that shape society. One cannot determine the relevance of patriarchy within our society without understanding the historical preconditions that shape our society. In the same vein, on… | /r/MensRights | 24/12/10 09:26 PM |
