Philosophical feminism is the only coherent philosophy with universal implications that provides a theoretical alternative to patriarchal thought and sociopolitical structures. I distinguish between a patriarchal logic of power and a feminist logic of pleasure that leads to an enlightened ethical hedonism, a pleasure-centered, feminist ethical framework based on a cooperative rather than authoritarian model of social relations.

Annotation Behind the systems approach to the family lie the hidden assumptions that men and women are equal within the family structure and that women and men are treated equally in clinical practice. Gender and Power in Familieschallenges these assumptions, presenting both a conceptual discussion of the subject and a review of the clinical practice. The contributors, all experienced therapists who work with women in a variety of public health and social service settings, re-examine the position of women and men in families and in family therapy. Drawing on their work with women from varied social amd ethnic backgrounds, the authors look at the issues as they relate to women who have suffered sexual abuse as children, and women struggling to bring up children alone or with partners with whom they are in perpetual conflict. They also explore the problems of women who are deemed mentally handicapped, women who are first-generation immigrants, and black women, who are marginalized and oppressed by race and class combined with gender. Gender and Power in Familieslooks closely at the family in its wider social context, arguing that the issues of gender and power are central to family therapy, training and practice.

This paper stems from a concern with how women are linguistically excluded in organizations. The paper will focus mainly on the form of language associated with technical change. Using research data the paper explores how metaphors are used within organizations which are in the process of adopting new technical systems, and what their use achieves. It is argued that men seek, knowingly or unknowingly, to facilitate the technological change process by drawing upon linguistic resources which reproduce relations of power. These resources are constituted as discourses of "battle," "maleness," and of "religious evangelism," expressed through metaphor. The language also serves the function of providing a vehicle for change; it marks out the "rules" as to how change is to be achieved; it not only helps differentiate "saints" from the "sinners" but helps re-enforce the power and all-encompassing dominance of male ideology in organizations. Language creates a reality which is gender-biased.
