The author, María Antonia García de León, unveils the disconnect between the head with which we think and the patriarchal heart that still beats in women, men, and society as a whole. Through a lens that combines anthropology, sociology, and feminism, this work presents itself as an essential social test for understanding the resistance to change and the paradoxes of the world we inhabit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses the \"social schizophrenia\" that characterizes current societies, where high doses of rationality and modernity coexist with irrational practices anchored in patriarchy. The author examines how, despite advances in equality and progressive discourse, power structures, gender roles, and behaviors that contradict modern logic persist. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the work analyzes this disconnect in different areas of social life, from institutions to everyday relationships, revealing the contradictions that prevent a true transformation toward equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSocial schizophrenia between modernity and patriarchy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGender inequality as an irrational practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eResistance to change in supposedly egalitarian societies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSociological and anthropological analysis of contemporary patriarchy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eParadoxes of feminism and gender theory today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in feminism, gender theory, sociology, and social anthropology.
