Which feminist scholar has distinguished between two distinct forms of patriarchy, namely, private patriarchy and public patriarchy ?
Answer: B
The scholar is Sylvia Walby.
In Theorizing Patriarchy (1990), Walby identified six structures of patriarchy and distinguished private patriarchy, based in the household where an individual man oppresses women, from public patriarchy, based in employment and the state, where women are subordinated collectively. She argued there had been a shift from private to public forms.
Shulamith Firestone located oppression in biological reproduction, bell hooks wrote on the intersection of race, class and gender, and R. W. Connell developed the concept of hegemonic masculinity.
