Abstract

This paper focuses on the importance of the family in individuals’ lives in transmitting the socially predominant sex-gender system to them. In this aim, the paper conceptualizes the sex-gender system and through a psychoanalytic perspective shows how the family conveys gender mandates. Ultimately, such an understanding is used to explain the deconfiguration of the patriarchal-bourgeois family throughout the 20th century, a setting that could introduce new possibilities for the transmission of a more equitable sex-gender system, in which women do not continue to be subject to the mandates of patriarchal society and male power.
