This is especially true amongst the first generation for some groups like immigrants from some Islamic countries. In my home area, Hmong are very Patriarchal. I can't think of any American minority group that is very gender egalitarian really.

That "kyriarchy" term is very interesting - I picture it as a multi-dimensional petronius Feb 2012 #24

Visuals are always good - and if I am understanding this correctly, I like that one alot. nt Ruby the Liberal Feb 2012 #25

I do not agree with what has been presented as Kyriarchy. I don't think priviledge is that complex stevenleser Feb 2012 #26

It depends on how you define power, right? It isn't just about petronius Feb 2012 #27

I don't think so. I really think it's simple. Here's why stevenleser Feb 2012 #28

I'm not sure that's correct, though kdmorris Feb 2012 #30

But again, think about the definition: stevenleser Feb 2012 #32

Some minority groups are more oppressive to women than the American born white christian Nikia Feb 2012 #34

Hmmmm, good point. I think in the case of women, it does apply. nt stevenleser Feb 2012 #35

I sort of understand it, but I would appreciate some clarification FrodosPet Feb 2012 #29
