NURSING ANM AND GNM

Detailed explanation-1: -For Delphy and Leonard (1992) argue it is men rather than capitalism who benefit the most from exploiting women and the family is central in maintaining this structure as: families are structured; in this structure men dominate while women and children are subordinate (very few families are matriarchal)

Detailed explanation-2: -Delphy and Leonard looked at the family as an economic system: who did the work and who benefited from it? It was clear to them that it was women who were exploited in this system. They did the bulk of the domestic labour-regardless of whether they also went out and did paid work outside the home too.

Detailed explanation-3: -They argue that the family is still patriarchal and that women today carry a dual burden. Item B Domestic violence accounts for up to a quarter of all recorded violent crime. Victims are more likely to be female and offenders male: domestic violence is linked to gender roles in patriarchal society.

Detailed explanation-4: -Essentially, feminists viewed the function of the family as a breeding ground where patriarchal values were learned by an individual, which in turn created a patriarchal society.

Detailed explanation-5: -Marxist feminism historicizes reproduction in relation to production to better understand women’s exploitation and oppression in capitalism. Marxist feminism also theorizes revolutionary subjectivity and possibilities for an anti-capitalist future.
