| The
Paper will attempt to do the following:
1. Set out the basic tenets of the Male Marginalisation Thesis,
with refinements made since it was first postulated in April
1986.
2. Critique alternative theoretical explanations and postulations
with respect to the phenomenon that was highlighted by the
Male Marginalisation Thesis.
3. Review the empirical data and evidence with respect to
the degree of fit with respect to the various alternative
theoretical explanations offered.
4. Discuss the empirical data and evidence with respect to
the Marginalisation Thesis.
5. Draw appropriate conclusions in light of the extent to
which the Marginalisation Thesis and alternative theoretical
explanations account for the phenomenon within the context
of a holistic view of gender. |
