From Participatory Democracy to Digital Democracy
Tom Hayden posted on his website, http://www.tomhayden.com, an article he coauthored with Dick Flacks to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the Port Huron Statement. The two SDS founders concluded, “Perhaps the most important legacy of the Port Huron Statement is the fact that it introduced the concept of participatory democracy to popular discourse and practice.” The concept of participatory democracy encompassed values such as equality, de…
The Patriarchal Core of Liberalism
This chapter explores the relationship between the patriarchal authority to police sex and newly emergent liberalism in the early Republic. More specifically, it considers the importance of perpetuating patriarchal authority to ensure the perpetuation of liberalism. It argues that patriarchal authority is the core of liberalism, and in the nation's early years gave governing elites discretionary decision-making that enabled them to limit people's…
In the Shadow of Patriarchal Authority
This book examines how the nation's early elites legitimized and perpetuated patriarchal authority over the sex lives of the first few generations of Americans in a newly emergent liberal society. More specifically, it considers how the new nation's political father figures were able to retain virtually uncontested legitimacy and power to regulate the terms of citizens' marital relations as well as their nonmarital sexual experiments. It shows ho…
Taming Passion For The Public Good Policing Sex In The Early Republic
Taming Passion for the Public Good
Kann's latest tour de force explores the ambivalence, during the founding of our nation, about whether political freedom should augur sexual freedom. Tracing the roots of patriarchal sexual repression back to revolutionary America, Kann asks highly contemporary questions about the boundaries between public and private life, suggesting, provocatively, that political and sexual freedom should go hand in hand. This is a must-read for those intereste…
Patriarchal Policing of Sex in the Early United States
On the eve of the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin published a satire instructing the British on humbling their American vassals. The British could castrate American males, thereby reducing American population growth. The logistics were simple: “Let a company of sow-gelders, consisting of 100 men, accompany the army. On their arrival at any town or village, let orders be given that on their blowing of the horn all the males be assembled in …
The Internet and youth political participation
In this article, the authors examine how American youths' contributions to three online worlds - participatory culture, political consumerism, and civic engagement - function as possible gateways to their increased political participation. Youth involvement in these three online worlds suggests that the Internet creates opportunities for youth involvement in politics and provides a measure of motivation, facilitation, and invitation for that invo…

Ongoing Tensions between Men's Studies and Women's Studies
This article examines three reasons for ongoing tensions between men's studies and women's studies. First, women's studies scholars claim a privileged place in gender studies. Second, both women's studies scholarship and men's studies scholarship emphasize gender differences that militate against cooperation. Third, the politics of women's studies and the politics of men's studies often clash. The article concludes by suggesting that these ongoin…

A Republic of Men
Similarity and Political Patriarchy during the American Founding
How did the American founders reconcile their revolutionary rhetoric of liberty and equality to ongoing patriarchy? Scholars generally argue that the founders perceived men and women to be different in ways that justified female subordination. The founders equated manhood to independence, reason, and virtue; associated womanhood with dependence, desire, and vice; and defined republican citizenship as the rule of sober males over impassioned femal…
The Bachelor and other Disorderly Men during the American Founding
The American founders used the figure of the bachelor to represent white males who failed to invest liberty with responsibility, only to foster disorder in the ranks of men. They saw the Bachelor's unrestrained sexuality as a source of social disarray and a symbol for the passions that dwelled within all men. They believed that marriage served a positive educative function, and they urged young males to measure up to manhood by settling down into…

Individualism, Civic Virtue, and Gender in America
Individualism is a powerful symbol of American life. We treasure individual rights to speak our minds, choose our values, seek our goals, and achieve self-fulfillment. We believe individual self-interest is the foundation of economic growth and prosperity. We treat individual suffrage as the definitive characteristic of democratic government. In a sense, individualism is the lifeblood of an American dream that flows to our children, circulates am…

Legitimation, Consent, and Antifeminism
Antifeminists have developed a legitimation theory that justifies, informs, and enhances their politics. Whereas early American conservatives opposed consent theory because it justified political equality, contemporary antifeminists have adopted and adapted consent theory to articulate and promote different rights and responsibilities for women and men. This article traces the history of consent theory in sexual politics. It suggests that the soc…

The new populism and the new Marxism
A Standard for Democratic Leadership
The resolution of the seeming conflict between the need for political leadership and the basic postulates of the democratic credo is a perennial problem for democratic theorists, and continues to occupy a central position in the contemporary debate between the "democratic revisionists" and the "participatory democrats." Both share in the search for a formula that would indicate the degree of leadership that is compatible with democracy, and both …
