patriarchal control theory

-daughters have a bedroom culture, stricter upbringing cant leave to commit c&d
2- CONTROL AT WORK- male supervisors, experience sexual harrassment
3-CONTROL IN PUBLIC- 54% women avoid going out when dark reducing women street crime, portrayal of rapist- want to stay home
carlen

class and gender deals - humans act rationally and are controlled by deals/rewards for conforming to soc norms
-women conform based on 2 deals

bodily capital& night economy
-globalisation= loss of annual jobs that WC men used to express masculinity
