Qu'est-ce que le patriarcat ? Une forme d'organisation sociale et juridique fondée sur la détention de l'autorité par les hommes. Pourquoi perdure-t-il dans nos sociétés dites "libérées" ? Après avoir interrogé un panel de jeunes hommes et de jeunes femmes, Carol Gilligan et Naomi Snider avancent une hypothèse psychologique nouvelle sur la persistance du patriarcat : s'il perdure, c'est non seulement parce que les personnes en position de pouvoir sont réticentes à renoncer à leurs privilèges, mais aussi parce qu'il sert une fonction psychologique. Dans la mesure où il requiert le sacrifice de l'amour au nom de la hiérarchie, le patriarcat s'érige en rempart contre la vulnérabilité associée au fait d'aimer. La simple prise de conscience que c'est notre capacité à communiquer nos sentiments personnels et à capter ceux des autres qui menace les structures hiérarchiques change entièrement la donne. Une thèse forte et un combat résolument actuel.
