Kadınların ev içi işlerden genel olarak sorumlu tutulması da kadınların işgücü piyasalarından ve eğitim olanaklarından erkeklere göre daha az faydalanmalarına yol açmaktadır. Kadının ve kadın emeğinin ekonomilerde ikincil planda kalmasının temel sebebi, hemen hemen bütün toplumsal kurum ve ilişkilerde erkeklerin merkezi konumda yer alması ve erkeklerin merkezi konumunun veri olarak ele alınmasıdır. Ekonomilerde ana üretim kaynaklarından biri olan emeğin kullanımında, birçok ülkede var olan toplumsal cinsiyet kalıpları bağlamında erkekler lehine bir dağılım olduğu söylenebilir.

And the reason we find it so hard, and we have found it so hard, to understand it and to combat it, is that it was institutionalized before Western civilization really, as we know it, was, so to speak, invented, and the process of creating patriarchy was really well completed by the time that the idea systems of Western civilization were formed.Ekonomilerde kalkınmanın temel sağlayıcı mekanizmalarından biri üretim faktörlerinin etkin kullanımıdır. Well, in Creation of Patriarchy I think I show that it was indeed a human invention it was created by human beings, it was created by men and women, at a certain given point in the historical development of the human race. And in order to understand it I had to understand really whether patriarchy was, as most of us have been taught, a natural, almost God-given condition, or whether it was a human invention coming out of a specific historic period. But women did not, and so that was the question that I really wanted to explore.
