Using biblical and biblical-apocryphal sources, the characteristics of Jewish-Christian patriarchism are shown which as a system, especially embodied by elderly men, was very efficient up to the beginning of the 19th century. Following industrialization a decline set in which still continues, and by far exceeds the mere loss of masculine predominance. Particularly elderly men are affected by this. It is remarkable that the general decline of the Protestant Church (in Germany) is connected with the dwindling of responsible paternity. It is presumed that female emancipation and the recovery of masculine responsibility are not contrary but complementary qualities.
利用圣经及圣经次经资料，展现了犹太 - 基督教家长制的特征。作为一种体系，它尤其体现在老年男性身上，在19世纪初之前一直非常有效。工业化之后，这种体系开始衰落，且至今仍在持续，其衰落程度远远超过了男性主导地位的单纯丧失。受影响尤为严重的是老年男性。值得注意的是，（德国）新教教会的普遍衰落与有责任感的父权制的减少有关。据推测，女性解放和男性责任感的恢复并非相互对立，而是相辅相成的品质。
