'''Briffault's law''' is defined as follows: "The female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the [[femoid|female]] can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place.". — Robert Briffault, The Mothers, Vol. I, p. 191 | '''Briffault's law''' is defined as follows: "The female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family.

It was defined in 1927 by Dudley Buxton and has been widely known in sociological and gender studies circles during the 20th century. In the 21st century the term became mainly relegated to the [[manosphere]]. | |||
