      ?

    • 2.The family wage and women's second-class citizenship that marked initial re-adjustment are functionally replaced by the patriarchal welfare state.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Under the patriarchal welfare state, women enter the wage labor force permanently but in segregated, less well-paid jobs.
      ?

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.The 'semi-automatic re-adjustment' framing presupposes a functionalist social logic that Marxist and liberal critics like Erik Olin Wright argue lacks causal specificity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If patriarchal structures persist across radically different economic systems, the explanatory variable is not capitalism but independent ideological or institutional factors requiring separate analysis.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Sylvia Walby's own multi-systems theory acknowledges that patriarchy and capitalism are analytically distinct structures, undermining any claim of automatic functional substitution between their forms.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Nancy Fraser's work on capitalist contradictions demonstrates that welfare states were contested political achievements shaped by women's movements, not automatic systemic re-adjustments.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Treating gendered welfare-state outcomes as automatic obscures the contingent historical agency of labor unions, suffragists, and legislators whose choices produced divergent national outcomes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Comparative welfare-state research by Esping-Andersen shows liberal, conservative, and social-democratic regimes produce structurally different gender inequalities, disconfirming any singular automatic patriarchal re-adjustment.

    Walby argues that there are two different basic forms of patriarchy which emerge in response to the tensions between capitalist economies and patriarchal household economies: private and public patriarchy. Private patriarchy as a form is marked by excluding women from economic and political power while public patriarchy works by segregating women.
