........ most sociological theories offered with any clout always describe values and behaviour patterns that lets face it are predominantly offered after being shaped by men........ which only encourage a privileged position for men.
such predominance of men in positions of power throughout history is a complex and systemic phenomenon possibly due to a combination of historical biological and social factors that became attached over thousands of years of physical labour, property control to create settled life which restricted womens freedom and economic roles to ensure lineage...... sadly still doctrine of several countries today regarding cultural and social conditioning.
from my days of serious political studies and a hands on vocal activist many moons ago not much has changed....... but i have a voice at least..... on here anyway.
