Woman StudiesJackson Katz Tough Guise Video - ANS-Jackson Katz argues that the epidemic of male
violence that plagues American society needs to be understood and addressed as part
of a much larger cultural crisis in masculinity. Whether he's looking at bullying and
school shootings or gay bashing, sexual assault, and violence against women, Katz
makes a powerful case that male violence, misogyny, and homophobia are inextricably
linked to how we define manhood as a culture.
monogenesis - ANS-the theory that humans are all descended from a single pair of
ancestors
Caucasian - ANS-The term Caucasian originally referred in a narrow sense to the native
inhabitants of the Caucasus region. In his The Outline of History of Mankind (1785), the
German philosopher Christoph Meiners first used the concept of a "Caucasian"
(Kaukasischen) race in its wider racial sense.
Standard North American Family (SNAF) - ANS-refers to the dominant familyschema in
North America. It consists of a heterosexual legally married couple and any children
who co-reside in the same household. The father is a breadwinner and the mother may
work for pay but is mainly responsible for care and household labor.
Adult male provides for household
Female may also have income, but her primary responsibility is to care for husband,
household, children
Originated during the 19th century
Family - ANS-A social group characterised by common residence, economic
cooperation and reproduction. It includes adults of both sexes, at least two of whom
maintain a socially approved sexual relationship, and one or more children, own or
adopted, of the sexually cohabiting adults'
The problem with the definition of family - ANS-Today, many Sociologists criticise the
above definition of the family as being too narrow because (both today and historically)
too many groups of people who regard themselves as a family would not be included in
the above definition, such as reconstituted or step-families and same sex families.
Coverture Laws - ANS-Joined husband and wife into one person under the husband
under common law practices; women lost right to property rights when married
