The Florida Supreme Court Gender Bias Study Commission found that, despite the recent changes that have occurred in the law, the legal system still is influenced to a significant and unacceptable degree by a cultural ideology that publicly condemns, yet tacitly accepts, male dominance and female subordination. Historical analysis has shown conclusively that the operative legal paradigm of the past 3,500 years has been the establishment and preservation of a societal culture built upon the premise of male dominance and female subordination. By exposing the ancient premise and examining empirically grounded analyses of current laws, gender bias commissions and scholarly research provide both a context and justification for the deconstruction of the present legal system. These same historical and empirical analyses provide the foundation and context for reconstructing the legal system with an equalitarian infrastructure. 109 notes.
