Gittins is the one who talks about age of patriarchy, that childhood still exist, as parents a dominant over children's bodies, therefore parents are reliable for children and economically dependent

but isnt that a negative view? as in like that children are too much controlled etc

You know for the 24 marker on feminism.....do you only talk about feminism or do you criticise the theory with other perspectives such as marxism and functionalism?

if its examine u talk about feminism only in depth. u could put a small counterargument at the end of each point

Idk really... However when I use it, I usually write it as a negative side, but you know that Postman talks about TV culture instead of print culture, therefore children develop really rapidly, this is bad , as parents can't hide stuff like pornography etc anymore , therefore it might be good that there is an age of patriarch, because children are under control....

That is incorrect, otherwise you are explaining not examining! They are the same question worded differently!

DW, I think he/she is talking about the evaluation side. So say if you had a point on feminism such as radical feminists call for matrilocal households your eval point is liberal feminists disagree. But also for your eval you can I THINK add a little marx and fucntionlism in but not so much

That person is wrong, 'assess' and 'examine' mean the same thing, otherwise the question would be 'explain'. Yeah, use Marxism, Functionalism, Postmodernism to critique each explanation of feminism (that is examination...). Also, obviously use the different types of feminism to evaluate as well. All that matters is that you explain all aspects of feminism in depth and use a critique (an critique!) to evaluate and disprove.

You need to talk about other perspectives , because you need to criticise feminism view of being so harsh

so basically age patriarchy is negative but u could argue that its positive to some extent as it allows to control children from certain stuff .

Asses and examine are not the same thing!!! Examine is your looking at reasons. Assess is your arguing explicitly for and against and then reaching a judgement in the examine you dont reach a judgement.

but with perspectives can they really have an examine question? Isn't it normally assess?
