So, should we tell Jonah Goldberg to postpone "taking feminism overseas"?

Good paper. But what makes male dominance less "mythical" in modern society than in peasant society? What makes male dominance more probable in industrialization than the alternatives? I suspect that what she is arguing is that industrialization increases the economic and social importance of activities outside the home, along with the importance of formal legal rights, which are traditionally dominated by men. But it also tends to increase the participation of women in activities outside the home, and result in them getting legal rights that were formally the exclusive domain of men.
