Patriarchy and Family Dynamics

This chapter examines the detrimental effects of patriarchal structures in religious authoritarian parenting on family dynamics. It discusses how children are often categorized as 'good' or 'bad' based on compliance, leading to toxic familial roles such as the golden child and the scapegoat. The speakers emphasize the psychological implications of these labels, particularly for neurodivergent children, and critique the tendency to attribute familial issues to individual shortcomings rather than systemic factors.
