“Of those strategies, three eclipse all others: patriarchal marriage (“the rule of the father”); the double standard of sexual fidelity (loose for husbands, rigid for wives); and confinement at home (“woman’s place”). Men put these tactics in play at the start and keep them in play throughout history.”

Its really interesting, but the writing is not the best. Will keep on reading, though.
