sssamsuh:

can someone explain hegemony to me in a dumb down way lol (sociology. Gramsci notion

Shadow:

Greece had city states. Their economy was already terrible so certain city states held more power (Athens, Sparta) due to having more ideal grounds for farming and/or shipping lanes. Thus, other city states depended on the more, and these city states could exert 'dominance' over other city, states.

Shadow:

It's just a hierarchy whereby one state holds a position of control over another state.

sssamsuh:

@Shadow thanks so much! would an example be how men tell women how they are so much better at cooking/cleaning so they must do those tasks although they are capable ?

Shadow:

although they are capable of doing other things?

sssamsuh:

@Shadow I mean yeah sure that works too but I meant although men are capable of doing it? like I get the meaning of hegemony now thanks to you but I cant find a great example

Shadow:

It seems gender studies identifies 'hegemonic masculinity' as being the "pattern of practice" for men exerting dominance over women.

Shadow:

Or rather, what allows it to continue.

Shadow:

Can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegemonic_masculinity

sssamsuh:

@Shadow so would my example be correct? I tried to stray away from using wiki but thanks so much

Shadow:

Yes. Wikipedia cited this article: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0891243205278639 You can see if you have access to it through your universities system.

sssamsuh:

@Shadow Thank you so much! have a lovely night :-)
