"Whenever anthropologists study or write about patrilineal, gender-segregated societies, they almost invariably conjure up a particular package of gender-related characteristics. These characteristics may be sorted in several ways, for example, as hierarchies or oppositions, but are almost always infused with the notion of an imbalance of power that favors men. Cases of women who do not accede to the exigencies of patriarchal authority assumed to be inherent in such societies are framed, explicitly or implicitly, as anomalies."
This journal mentions the relationship between family members and gender role.
