ABSTRACT
By focusing on the drivers and dampeners of the transition towards the social-democratic form of public patriarchy, this chapter provides a detailed discussion on the key strategies that the feminist movement needs to reflect on. Considering the uneven and combined development of premodern, modern, and neoliberal patriarchies, the chapter provides a detailed discussion of four such strategies which from the evidence appear to be particularly effective in securing change: (i) addressing the diversified experiences of women, (ii) avoiding capitalism or culture based reductionisms, (iii) instead considering political power of the patriarchal collective subject, and (iv) establishing long-term strategic alliances with the working-class, LGBTQ+, and anti-racist social movements.
