    Default How does the Threat of Violence Maintain Patriarchy

    Just thinking about this today. Actually right now. I seem to recall reading somewhere that violence alone does not reproduce patriarchy. Rather, crucial to understanding the advantages for men in patriarchy is not so much violence, but the threat of violence. Can anyone point me to what I'm referring to?

    Thanks!

    And as usual, forgive my naivete!

    I'm not the brightest girl out there, I'm actually a little ditzy sometimes but I think it has something to do with fear.
    I dreamt of a flower that was so beautiful that when it whithered away and died a tear left my eye. I saw our births, our lives and our deaths. I felt fire paint me with pain and I felt a kiss on my lips with a knife in my neck. Love to heartbreak to self-destruction to birth and to finally learning to frolic back into the same trap with a warm smile.
