- Feminist View on the Family
- Purpose of the family
- Still murdocks traditional but it suppresses women and is a social construct created by men
- Dobash and Dobash say patriarchy is hidden now and women are still oppressed.
- Wallace said triple shift - women go to work and do care work and domestic work
- Parsons - (functionalists) fit so the family fits society
- Functionalists say needed for stable socialisation
- New Right - teach norms and values and make kids self-reliant
- Traditional Family
- Still murdocks - not natural but designed to opress women
- Dual Burden - working class can't afford childcare
- Re-marriage rate is high so still need is there
- Morris - unemployed men still think housework is still a job
- Chester - extensions and reductions of nuclear but same ideas
- Giddens - 'pure relationships' stay together based on statification
- M.O.P to men doing more housework
- Conjugal Roles
- Roles are segregated not joint
- Triple shift - based on patriarchy
- Oakley - in industrialisation women were excluded from workforce and made more dependent on men
- Women in lower paid jobs
- Giddens - 'pure relationships' only stay together if happy
- Parsons/ functionalists - express themselves through care for family "women are naturally suited"
- Too negative
- See family as created by patriarchy to benefit men
- children are taught to act certain way - girls called "princess"
- Women get paid lower in jobs but still do housework and care
- M.O.P in the pay gap and so it's smaller
- Re-marriage so must be reason to want it
- Purpose of the family
