Socialization Processes and Clergy Offenders

This article uses feminist theory to investigate how the socialization processes used to maintain the clergy community in the Roman Catholic Church contributes to a vulnerability in some clergy for sexually abusing children. This vulnerability is identified first in an examination of the literature on the impact of socialization processes on clergy offenders between the 1960s and 1980s. A comparison is then made with the implications of the apostolic exhortation, Pastores Dabo Vobis, which provides a theological basis to clergy formation. The article argues that the document works to ensure a continuity of socialization processes that not only have been shown to create a vulnerability for committing child sexual abuse but compound existing vulnerabilities. The article concludes that constraints produced by the preservation of a hegemonic masculinity and patriarchy retain a threat of violence against children and require recommended reforms.     

Therapeutic Responses to Domestic Violence in Australia: A History of Controversies

This paper reviews controversies about domestic violence occurring in heterosexual relationships discussed in the Australian context by practitioners and academics and published in the Australian & New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy over the past three decades. Controversies arose in relation to the provision of therapeutic interventions for domestic violence, primarily in individual and couple counselling and group programs. After a literature review, the following controversial issues are identified: (1) the role of patriarchy: Is a patriarchal culture the main cause of domestic violence? (2) Systemic family therapy and gendered violence: Does systemic family therapy hide men's responsibility for domestic violence? (3) Therapeutic and educational interventions for domestic violence: Does therapy turn a ‘crime’ into a ‘psychological problem’? (4) Men as victims: Do both men and women perpetrate domestic violence in equal measure? (5) It takes two to tango: What part do women play in eliciting men's violence?     

自然·女性·和谐——《恋爱中的女人》的生态女性主义解读

生态女性主义吸收了生态哲学和生态伦理学的养料,以女性主义理论为支撑点,重新审视人类自身的文化系统,关注人类生存与发展的各种问题。从生态女性主义的视角来看,D.H.劳伦斯在《恋爱中的女人》中以生态环境和两性关系为切入点,探索自然和女性在父权社会中同为＂他者＂的身份地位,进而表达对父权制世界观的否定,以及构建人与自然、男性与女性完全平等、和谐生存的社会理想。     

Islam and patriarchy: how robust is Muslim support for patriarchal values?

Evidence that Muslims support patriarchal values more than non-Muslims is abundant but the nature of this evidence is contested. The ‘cultural’ interpretation suggests that patriarchal values are an inherent element of Muslim identity. The ‘structural’ interpretation holds that patriarchal values reside in structural characteristics and have little to do with Muslim identity. Evidence on these contradictory claims is inconclusive. Neither have advocates of the cultural position shown that Muslim support for patriarchal values remains robust under control of structural characteristics; nor have proponents of the structural position demonstrated that Muslim support for these values vanishes under such controls. Filling this gap, we use multi-level models to test whether Muslim support for patriarchal values vanishes under control of patriarchy's structural underpinnings. We find that Muslim support for patriarchal values is robust against various controls; and we identify mosque attendance as a mechanism to sustain Muslim support for patriarchy in non-Muslim societies. Yet, rising levels of education, labor market participation, and a glacial emancipative trend diminish Muslim support for patriarchy, especially among women.     

杜鹃啼血，昭示不平——萧红与姜敬爱小说底层女性悲剧之比较

萧红与姜敬爱秉着真实是文学生命的创作理念，书写底层女性的苦难与悲剧。前者着重从历史、人性和性别角度揭示底层女性所遭受的性别歧视和愚昧无知的精神状态，而后者主要从民族、阶级和社会层面来透视穷苦女性的悲剧命运。这可从时代悲剧、亲历体验和性差积淀三方面得到解码。     

苔丝与艾德娜形象之比较

《德伯家的苔丝》和《觉醒》分别是英、美文学史上描写女性意识觉醒的经典作品。但由于两位作家性别、国度的差异以及个人经历的不同,使得他们塑造的女性形象既有相似之处,又有明显的差别,本文对此进行了分析。     

“兔子”夫人贾尼丝如是说——《兔子,跑吧》的女性视角解读

在<兔子,跑吧>中,主人公"兔子"哈里·安斯特朗三番五次离家出走,其妻贾尼丝似乎都难逃其咎.家庭生活的不和谐,贾尼丝的懒惰愚笨,成为兔予应对世人指摘的护身符,而贾尼丝则成了整个事件的"替罪羔羊",被评论家称作"兔子终生难以摆脱的障碍之一."从叙事学的角度分析造成这种不公平印象的原因,指出由于兔子这个人物有着根深蒂固的男权意识,他无法和女性达成和谐的关系,注定在两性生活中无法寻得平衡点.     

社会性别问题历史唯物主义考察的典型呈现——马克思《路易斯·亨·摩尔根（古代社会）摘要》研究

马克思围绕摩尔根《古代社会》做了一系列阐释，将社会性别问题放在整个人类社会历史进程中加以考察。在马克思看来，财产权是家庭和人类社会发展最根本的动力。财产的占有和分配在人类社会生活当中地位显要。社会财富的增长和父权制血缘关系的基本要求是家庭婚姻关系特别是女性在社会生活中地位转化的根本原因。财产关系的变化使家庭婚姻关系从母系氏族走向了父系氏族，父权制度更通过财产关系获得了政治关系乃至整个社会关系当中的优势位置。父权制度通过社会生活和政治制度的力量将其自身发展到了相当的程度。因女性问题的根源在于财产所有制和继承关系，财产所有制继承关系成为凌驾于女性甚至全人类之上并产生剥削和私有制关系。只有解除剥削和私有制关系的基础上消灭财产关系作为社会唯一根本的衡量标准的社会形态，女性问题才能得到消解。     

Understanding Gender and Power Dynamics Within the Family: A Qualitative Study of Nepali Women's Experience

Among the Maori of New Zealand, Aboriginals of Australia, and other Indigenous peoples, family dynamics strongly influence the ways that issues emerge in counseling. This study explores aspects of gender and power within the context of birth practices in rural Nepal. In‐depth interviews were conducted with 15 postpartum women, as well as family members, to collect narratives of birthing experiences that highlight issues of oppression, marginalisation, and power struggles. Implications for multicultural and social justice awareness in family therapy are discussed, especially with regard to the subtle, disguised ways that power operates behind the scenes, often sabotaging efforts by health and mental health professionals to bemost helpful.
