The Division of Labor in Society

One hell of a dissertation. At the same time I didn't appreciate in the slightest Durkheim's tendency to create prescriptions based only on the normative characters in a particular society. Normative, etymologically, concerns some type of adherence to a majority, and therein is a rather secure stance to take. I feel like for all the effort spent understanding the safest parts of society, Durkheim did little to incorporate the more subjugated members into that norm. Rather, he told Parisian women that because they were patronized, they had smaller brains, and drew moral conclusions from that "reality." way to go, Durkheim: help the majority improve, but cement the minority into their graves.
