    It is not the case that When private patriarchy is broken down by industrial capitalism, a public form of patriarchy emerges as a semi-automatic re-adjustment.

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 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 for 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.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

      ?

    • 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.
