Yet anthropologist Emmanuel Todd puts us to the test: do we really know what this notion means? Nothing is less certain...<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The consensus seems to be in favour of <em>against<\/em> patriarchy. Alongside climate and geopolitical crises, it is one of the major issues of our time. Yet, as soon as we attempt to define it, difficulties arise. The word takes on multiple, often imprecise and sometimes contradictory meanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people will be outraged that we dare to ask this question, and will immediately see it as a devious maneuver to justify male oppression. For them, everything is clear: patriarchy is a system of male domination, which structures all aspects of life: private, institutional, economic, political, sporting, religious... An eternal, structural and systemic domination, which spares no society, least of all ours. But if patriarchy is in everything, what does the word still mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For someone who has devoted his life as a researcher to forging rigorous concepts and precise tools (data, statistics, maps), there's plenty to be puzzled about. How can we accept that such a vague word should sweep away decades of painstaking research? This is the tragedy of kinship anthropologists like Emmanuel Todd. Famous for having predicted the collapse of the USSR as early as 1976, he is first and foremost an anthropologist of family systems. For half a century, he has been striving to understand the kinship systems that shape representations, ideologies and... the status of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-le-patriarcat-a-l-epreuve-des-modeles-familiaux\">Patriarchy\u00ab put to the test in family models<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If we move away from slogans and adopt a comparative and historical approach, reality turns out to be more nuanced than a binary opposition between oppressor men and oppressed women. In her many works, particularly <em>Where are they now?<\/em> (2022), Todd demonstrates that family systems have not completely disappeared beneath the veneer of globalization. He distinguishes at least six ancestral family models, which continue to structure, in depth, cultures, politics and ideologies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- The egalitarian nuclear family (France, French-speaking Switzerland, central Spain, southern Italy...). Children leave home early, fostering their autonomy. Inheritance is divided equally between boys and girls. This model values freedom and equality, and guarantees women a relatively high status, notably in terms of inheritance rights and social mobility. It forms the cultural foundation of France and its motto \u00ablibert\u00e9, \u00e9galit\u00e9, fraternit\u00e9\u00bb (liberty, equality, fraternity).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- The absolute nuclear family (United Kingdom, United States, Australia...). It differs from the previous model in the absence of egalitarian rules: parents divide their assets freely. This model is associated with strong liberal traditions and a certain indifference to the principle of equality. Women have won important rights, but radical individualism, nourished by Protestant culture, has favored the recent emergence of a third-wave feminism, marked by resentment and social anomie: \u00abantagonistic feminism\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- The stem family (Germany, Japan...). A single child, usually the eldest son, inherits the family fortune and stays with the parents. This model values authority and hierarchy. Inequality is structural, and women occupy a clearly subordinate position. Historically, this type of family is often correlated with authoritarian or undemocratic political regimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<form method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/newsletter.infomaniak.com\/external\/submit\" class=\"inf-form\" target=\"_blank\"><input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" style=\"display:none\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"key\" value=\"eyJpdiI6IlZXRVJGMlRGQUU2alNqUE81bitIUk5adnNVa0c4MllFTStzOHdHT1FQZ3c9IiwidmFsdWUiOiJIYzhwMUVCK1pTNnlhY3MyMmhuZlhReWJqemEwNk93blMxTjFHc0s2VHZrPSIsIm1hYyI6ImVhYTQ5N2I1M2NiYWE4NzBmNjk2NzgzYjliM2Y5NmYzM2E2ZmU3NGQxNTU1ZDFkMTU1MzY5NTdjYjE3ZTJmNTUifQ==\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"webform_id\" value=\"7291\"><style> .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff{ background-color:#f5f5f5; padding:25px 20px; margin:25px auto; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-content { margin-top:13px;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff span, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff input, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-success p a { color:#555555; font-size:14px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4{ font-size:18px; margin:0px 0px 13px 0px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label{ font-weight:bold; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input { margin-bottom:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label { display:block;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff input{ height:35px; color:#999999; border: 1px solid #E9E9E9; border:none; padding-left:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error label, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error span.inf-message{ color: #cc0033; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error input{ border: 1px solid #cc0033; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input input { width:100%;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error span.inf-message { display: block; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit { text-align:right;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit input{ background-color:#777777; color:#ffffff; border:none; font-weight: normal; height:auto; padding:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit input.disabled{ opacity: 0.4; } .inf-btn { color: rgb(85, 85, 85); border: medium none; font-weight: normal; height: auto; padding: 7px; display: inline-block; background-color: white; box-shadow: 0px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.24); border-radius: 2px; line-height: 1em; } .inf-rgpd { margin:25px 0px 15px 0px; color:#555555; } <\/style> <div class=\"inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff\"> <h4>NEWSLETTER DU REGARD LIBRE<\/h4> <span>Receive our articles every Sunday.<\/span> <div class=\"inf-success\" style=\"display:none\"> <h4>Your subscription to our weekly newsletter has been successfully registered!<\/h4> <p> <a href=\"#\" class=\"inf-btn\">\u00ab<\/a> <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"inf-content\"> <div class=\"inf-input inf-input-text\"> <input type=\"text\" name=\"inf[1]\" data-inf-meta = \"1\" data-inf-error = \"Merci de renseigner une adresse email\" required=\"required\" placeholder=\"Email\" > <\/div> <div class=\"inf-submit\"> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"\" value=\"Sign up\"> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/form>\n\n\n\n<p>- The exogamous community family (Russia, China, Vietnam...). All sons live in the family home and welcome their wives from other families. Daughters leave theirs to join their husband's family. Women are exchanged between families according to a strict patrilineal logic. The degree to which women are degraded varies from region to region: lower in Russia, higher in China and Vietnam. Thanks to its strong internal cohesion, this model has encouraged adherence to communist regimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- The endogamous community family (Arab world, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan...). It favors marriages between parallel cousins (children of two brothers) to preserve blood ties and the unity of heritage. Paternal authority is diluted in favor of that of the siblings. This system results in a high degree of inferiorization of women. Consanguineous marriage rates still exceed 30% in many regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- The community family with mass polygyny (West Africa). Here, male polygamy dominates. A man can have several wives, creating a conjugal hierarchy and competition between women. Women's status is greatly lowered, depending on their rank in the order of wives and their ability to bear boys. Subordination to husbands and clans is extremely strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examining these family types, Todd notes that \u2019to each family type corresponds a status for women\u00ab. Even today, women's status remains to some extent conditioned by these kinship systems. The peripheral regions of the old civilizational hotbeds - France, Northern Europe, the Anglo-Saxon world - offered women a relatively egalitarian status, far removed from a so-called universal patriarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-les-quatre-ecueils-du-concept-de-patriarcat\">The four pitfalls of patriarchy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Todd is an outspoken critic of the term patriarchy. He sees it as a catch-all term, overused by many activists who have never bothered to carefully describe the complexity of societies. The term, he says, \u00abbreaks his anthropologist's tools\u00bb because of four major errors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> The myth of patriarchy in the West. According to Todd, applying the term <em>patriarchy<\/em> to the Western world is a \u00abridiculous blindness\u00bb, which he describes as \u00absociological creationism\u00bb. Todd affirms: \u00abPatriarchy appeared in the heart of Eurasia, around Mesopotamia and ancient China. (...) It never really existed in Western Europe. The individualistic nuclear structure has always prevailed here, close to the ancestral family model of hunter-gatherers, where women have retained a particularly high status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-lire-aussi-le-sexe-faible-en-demographie-c-est-l-homme\">Read also | <a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/forum\/low-sex-male-demographics\/\">The weaker sex, in demography, is the man<\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> A crude levelling of all cultures. To speak indiscriminately of patriarchy erases the colossal differences between today's 193 nation-states. Being born into a Swedish or Chinese family means very different things to women. \u00abIf you use the word patriarchy to talk about the situation of French women in the 20th and 21st centuries, what word will you use to describe the status of women in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia?\u00bb he asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> The emancipation of women in the West is invisible. For Todd, this emancipation constitutes the greatest societal revolution of the last two centuries. Today, this transformation has engendered a structural polarization of our societies: on the one hand, \u00abideological matri-dominance\u00bb (women dominate teaching, the media and soon the university); on the other, \u00abeconomic patri-dominance\u00bb (men remain at the head of the grandes \u00e9coles, multinationals and political institutions). Todd statistically measures \u00aba residual film of male domination that does not exceed 4% of the social structure\u00bb. Yet antagonistic feminism remains completely blind to these fundamental changes, locking itself into a fixist, victimized vision of an eternal, omnipresent patriarchy that it waves like a red rag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-lire-aussi-camille-paglia-ou-le-feminisme-amazone-anti-victimaire\">Read also | <a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/forum\/camille-paglia-feminisme-amazone\/\">Camille Paglia or anti-victim Amazon feminism<\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> An ideological instrumentalization to the detriment of the working classes. For Todd, the slogan \u00abDown with patriarchy\u00bb is brandished by an upper-class elite totally disconnected from the experience of the working classes. The author writes: \u00abAs much as I recognize the feminism of the first and second waves, driven by bourgeois women and militant for the right to vote and sexual emancipation, as having been beneficial to all women, what we are experiencing today, antagonistic feminism (...) is a catastrophe for the working classes. It may please petty-bourgeois women in the university, but it poisons relations between men and women in the circles where the solidarity of the couple is most needed.\u00bb These activists act as veritable \u00abpyromaniac firefighters\u00bb: by lighting fires of indignation all over the place, they end up damaging the causes they claim to defend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That's why, following Todd, we can proclaim: \u00abDown with (the concept of) patriarchy!\u00bb Rather than succumbing to an Anglo-Saxon feminism of resentment, it's time to revive \u00aba feminism of reconciliation\u00bb, based on collaboration and mutual respect between men and women, and thus remain faithful to the heritage of the egalitarian nuclear family of hunter-gatherer societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-commentaire\">Comment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For Emmanuel Todd, abandoning the term patriarchy in no way means denying the existence of male violence or specific forms of male domination in certain areas. However, the anthropologist insists on the need to measure them statistically over time and on a global scale. For example, female homicide rates have been falling steadily in Europe since 1985, which contradicts the alarmist thesis of \u00abthe obsessive rise of the feminicide theme\u00bb. So it's not out of denial, but in the name of a clear-sighted viewpoint and rigorous conceptualization, that Todd calls for a renunciation of the use of this imprecise notion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Yan Greppin<\/strong> teaches geography and philosophy at the Lyc\u00e9e Denis-de-Rougemont, Neuch\u00e2tel<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vous-venez-de-lire-un-article-tire-de-notre-edition-papier-le-regard-libre-n-120-debats-analyses-actualites-culturelles-nbsp-abonnez-vous-nbsp-a-notre-media-de-reflexion-pour-nous-soutenir-et-avoir-acces-a-tous-nos-contenus\">You have just read an article from our print edition (<a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/cpt-editions\/le-regard-libre-120-enfance\/\"><em>Le Regard Libre<\/em> N\u00b0120<\/a>).
