Review

“Taking on the long brewing battle between true democracy and the pervasive ‘ghost’ of patriarchy, this compact book exists in a category of its own. The voices of its authors are accessible, incisive and engaging—the perfect book to launch almost any conversation about our current messy psycho-political times.”Jill Gentile, author, Feminine Law: Freud, Free Speech, and the Voice of Desire “An original and powerful analysis of patriarchy; there is a freshness and vitality to the authors’ approach. Why Does Patriarchy Persist? should be compulsory reading in every discipline from law to literature, for it offers a framework in which numerous dilemmas, both practical and psychological, might be resolved.”Terri Apter, Newnham College, Cambridge"There are books that do what they set out to do: they make their points clearly, they argue something new, they uncover something for us. Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snider’s new book, Why Does Patriarchy Persist?,  does more than that. It is a spark. It is something like a book-length speech act, both illocutionary and perlocutionary: in speaking, the authors bring their thesis into being, and with it a host of possibilities come alive within us. As we read, we believe intimately that what they say is so. We feel it and see it in our own lives; it cannot but leap up within us."The Public Seminar "Dr. Gilligan’s writing may frustrate because of its swirl of literary, personal and clinical anecdotes. There can be tangles and snarls of language. You might get lost in its allusions and references, particularly if you’re not up-to-date on your Sophocles, Old Testament tales or Woolf. But her voice on the page is as it is in real life: warm and inviting. Democracy, she said, is like love. It only works if everyone has a voice. Dr. Gilligan’s new book continues to try and universalize the intimate." New York Times

I bought this book as part of the curriculum for my class in contemporary political philosophy. It was meant to serve as a feminist critique of the assumptions of today's dominant political ideologies, but it was so full of holes that it provoked more dissent than agreement. The authors rely on personal anecdotes and broad generalizations about how men and women are supposed to act in present-day America to make gigantic assumptions about why our society retains patriarchal norms in our daily lives. In doing so, they avoid the hard questions (their book's title asks why patriarchy persists, but they never consider why virtually every single culture across space and time has been patriarchal or why matriarchal or egalitarian societies never won out anywhere, preferring instead to chalk patriarchy's success up to its emotional effects) and research that is inconvenient to their cause (they prefer to blame male aggression and female nurturing on societal expectations and ignore the troves of research into how testosterone and estrogen give rise to and reinforce these qualities in men and women). Overall, it is very, very poorly argued and displays obvious partisan leanings and ideological blind spots from the first page on.

I put off reading this book because it deals with topics that can be painful for me (child neglect, etc) but I'm glad I sat down and read it. This is a knowledgeable and well thought out analysis of how a system that has been responsible for a lot of abuse and atrocity continues to proliferate despite its tendency to hobble people.One of the primary goals, I think, was to connect the still-face infant study and the work of the renowned John Bowlby with our (in their analysis) misapprehended ideas of how "growing up" ought to work. The idea that we as humans all begin with a finely tuned ability to connect and emotionally interact with others, and that trauma destroys that ability, is a convincing one.Surely in a world with so many instances of shallow and false connection, it behooves us to consider that our idea of what a "relationship" looks like, what we continue to present as ideal on our social media and elsewhere, might be basically flawed.There is no blame at all in this book. Women and men are presented as both within a system that harms them, that expects them to cut off vital and honest relationships for the sake of self-sacrifice or manliness. This is the openest of hands being extended to, perhaps, consider an alternate interpretation than "we're all selfish monsters who struggle not to be evil all our lives or just embrace it."Sometimes grief manifests in anger and defensiveness. This book invites you to simply examine your own grief. See what you have lost. If you are able to, put aside your own feelings of fear and reactivity. There's growth to be made, even if you don't agree with every conclusion.

I found this to be an odd book. It covers much of the material in The Birth of Pleasure, though presented in a more streamlined manner. If you’ve read that, and aren’t interested in Gilligan and Snider’s take on the 2016 election, then you can pass on this book and not miss much. But if you haven’t read The Birth of Pleasure, I recommend reading one of the two. The Birth of Pleasure for a more flowery presentation; Why Does Patriarchy Persist? for an updated political commentary.I love the way Gilligan uses mythology, in both the book I mention, as one way to illustrate her theories of human relationships.The authors’ present the basic themes of the book well in the Introduction, which I quote here: “Our work began with a question: does patriarchy persist not only because those in positions of power are loath to give up their privilege but also because it has a psychological function? By requiring a sacrifice of love for the sake of hierarchy (think of Abraham commanded by God to sacrifice his son Isaac), patriarchy steels us against the vulnerability of loving and by doing so, it becomes a defense against loss. In this light, we suggest that forces outside our awareness may be driving a politics that otherwise appear inexplicable to many people. This understanding then implies that psychological dynamics also may drive the backlash against any progress toward equality. Any dismantling of patriarchy poses a threat not simply to status and power, but to psychological defense that protect us from what have become some of our deepest fears and most shameful desires.”I found parts of the argument (most of it, actually) presented in this book quite insightful, and though a few parts didn’t ring true to me. I was disturbed by an over-riding feeling of bitterness coming from the book, which prompts me to rate this 4 stars rather than 5.But that’s JustMe.
