Feminist scholarship strains the histories and the geographies of patriarchal members of the family to illustrate that patriarchy manifests in dynamic and flexible methods to be able to preserve patriarchal family members. These strategies theorize the linkages among patriarchy and capitalism, colonialism, and nationalism, arguing that patriarchal members of the family perform throughout scales in methods that now not most effective represent the ones scales however also order social relations in hierarchical relationships. Such research examines patriarchal members of the family at the level of the frame, the public–private divide, nationalism and citizenship, colonialism, and globalization. As an analytical device, patriarchy has been criticized as too universalizing and overarching in its conceptualization of the unequal members of the family among women and men. It is an analytical concept referring to a machine of  political, social, and monetary family members and establishments established across the gender inequality of socially defined men and women.
