PATRIARCHY (4 of 5)

THE RESPONSE TO IDEOLOGIES IS THEREFORE PERSONAL ALTHOUGH THEIR BASIS IS SOCIAL
The woman who accepts the requirement that she do "woman's work" and the man who accepts the requirement that he do "man's work" are both family responding on a personal level to a social imperative. Similarly, a married couple who are trying to raise children, improve their standard of living, and retain the patriarchical family structure may find themselves dealing with personal problems that arise from their adherence to societal beliefs.
