Defending the young: Female aggression, resources, dominance, and the emptiness of patriarchy
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (2):224-225 (1999)
| Abstract | Points of criticism of the target include: the extreme violence of females in defence of young despite high potential cost, the reality of female dominance striving, differences in male and female ritualization of aggression, the real existence of institutionalized female instrumental aggression, and the uselessness of “patriarchy” as defined as a category for differential analysis. It is concluded that it may in fact be the decline of patriarchy in the strict sense that leads to the female use of exculpatory explanations for aggression, thus reversing Campbell's proposed causal sequence. | |||||||||
