+* Review from last week: Ortner on patriarchy, criticism of Ortner
+* Three examples of gender inequality: Are they the same?
+  - Woman/Man: A marked-unmarked opposition.
+  - In these societies, are women oppressed in a way that is fundamentally similar?
+  - Do women of these societies have common interests, that is, should they all be working toward challenging male domination?
+* Marilyn Strathern: A more ambitious critique of Ortner
+  - Mount Hagen, PNG: Home of Ongka, and a truck.
+  - Women are rubbish and selfish, men are successful leaders
+  - Autonomy and cooperation have to be balanced
+  - Hagen [[:personhood|personhood]]: The gender dichotomy is a metaphor for the human mind.
+* The witchcraft meeting in Auhelawa
+  - Women have a "tongue of fire"
+  - Women are "the boss of this place"
+  - Accusations, and a collective admission of responsibility
+  - The witch is a deviant woman and a matrilineal woman
+* Forms of power
+  - Coercion
+  - Authority
