In her talk, Adichie states that “culture really is about preservation and continuity of a people,” a statement that coincides with Wade/Ferree’s chapter 08. And in chapter 09, Wade and Ferree build on this to provide a structuralist argument – one that focuses on the interrelationship of social institutions – that details the evolving gender order at various points over the past 100 years. They speak to the interrelated nature of family and economy in their tale of the evolution of gender in the US. This acknowledges that change can happen, but Adichie takes this one step further in call for directed change: “If it is in fact truethat the full humanity of women is not our culture, then we must make it our culture.”

For this discussion, please post your thoughts about how our current economic and political institutions urge specific features of our gender order. That is, what structural forces play out on our lives today that produce certain gender arrangements? (Please also read the book’s chapter 9 and related to it).

This is a discussion, so the format doesn’t matter.
