Family ideology

Family ideology is a term that is mostly used critically for ideologies and ideas that represent a patriarchal bourgeois family as an indispensable value and thus perpetuate the oppression of women and children, reject a more free development of sexuality and thus also contribute to the stability of capitalist production relations.

The term is used in sociology , political science and gender studies , among others .

Politically, conservative family ideologies are not exclusively represented by conservative parties, but have also influenced social democratic and socialist policies.
