46. Read the following paragraph and answer questions 46-50.

Patriarchy has been a fundamentally important concept in gender studies, leading to the development of a number of theories that aim to identify the bases of Women's subordination. Three of the most important theories in which patriarchy is a central concept are those commonly labelled as 'radical feminist', 'Marxist feminist' and 'dual systems theory'. In 'radical feminist' analyses, patriarchy is regarded as the primary and fundamental social division in society. In some radical feminist analyses, the institution of the family is identified as a key means through which men's domination is achieved. In other radical feminist accounts of patriarchy, the control men have over women's bodies is regarded as important. For Firestone, inequalities between women and men are biologically based, with the different reproductive capacities of women and men being especially important. In other radical feminist analyses, it is masculine control over women's bodies through sexuality or male violence in the form of rape that is regarded as being of central importance. In a further grouping of feminist analyses, often labelled as 'Marxist feminism', patriarchy is argued to arise from the workings of the capitalist economic system it requires, and benefits from, women's unpaid labour in the home. The subordination of women to men in society therefore tends, to be regarded as a by product of capital's subordination of labour. Class inequality is argued to be the central feature of society and is seen to determine gender inequality. A third grouping of feminist perspectives gives theoretical priority to two systems capitalism and patriarchy in the explanation of patriarchy often referred to as 'dual systems theory', this perspective in many ways represents a synthesis of Marxist and radical feminist accounts of gender relations.
