Alexa Mason on 05 Nov 13This webpage is dedicated to exploring patriarchy as it relates to "The Gender Knot" by Allan Johnson. Patriarchy, as per Johnson, asserts male domination, organization around males, and the fact that society is not only male-centered but also male-identified. There are always exceptions to the rules, but according to Johnson in this male centered and dominated society, men most often sit in the positions of power while women are relegated to the margins.
