Excerpt from Vexy Thing: On Gender and Liberation

This article comes from three different sections from the forthcoming Vexy Thing: On Gender and Liberation, which focus on the terms: personhood, patriarchy, and feminism, and the connection to language and power. The first part of the book is a historically-based conceptual account of the foundation of patriarchy, and the second part explores the shifts in patriarchy unfold in the hypermedia neoliberal age.
