The Myth ofMale Power violates both sexes’ biologically inherited instinct to protea the female. Proteaing the female implied listening to her needs and repressing his own — even to the point of dying. It will therefore literally be natural to find flaws as a defense against hearing the male world view. There are flaws enough […]

A NOTE ON SOURCES AND EXAMPLES
The potential literature which could be cited in a book such as this is overwhelming in range and in sheer amount. I have, therefore, illustrated the arguments made with examples from four empirical areas: the sociologies of education, stratification, science and medicine. These are the areas I know best in sociology. I have crossed the […]

OUTLINE OF THE BOOK
This chapter introduces the book and briefly explores its place in the series. The chapter will explain the ‘crisis of western sociology’ in the late 1960s, to use Gouldner’s (1971) phrase, and the consequent explosion of new ideas and the ‘zesty disarray’ that developed out of that crisis. The theoretical schools of feminism will be […]
The Conversation
jamie warner Well, we finally had The Conversation. It was planned for August 15, but I, of course, forced it six weeks early at an unbelievably inopportune moment. Yes, I know, I know. It’s rather pathetic to have to plan a conversation. And, yes, we, or rather I, had planned this particular conversation over a […]
People and livelihoods
Somalia is often misrepresented as a country with a homogeneous population, culture and language. Its total population in 2001 was estimated to be 6.3 million. (UNDP 2001) The vast majority are ethnic Somalis (of Hamitic origin) which comprise two distinct groups associated with one of two livelihood systems: nomadic pas — toralists, who are the […]
Research Methods
What approaches do scientists use to measure behavior in adult development and aging research? • Measures used in research must be reliable (measure things consistently) and valid (measure what they are supposed to measure). • Systematic observation involves watching people and carefully recording what they say or do. Two forms are common: naturalistic observation (observing […]
