Feminists have challenged!
The dichotomy between public and private, they have argued.
That power, often seen as definitive of politics, impinges on private and domestic life.
And that, (some of this power such as spouses') [different amounts of] influence over-important decisions - is subtler.
But, no less important than physical power, they have emphasised.
Moreover that, (the very existence of a private sphere its extent and limits what is and is not acceptable behaviour within it; and who), can and cannot constitute!
A family have been and still are decided in the public sphere.
Directly in legislatures (and courts less directly) in the workplace media and schools at, present public decisions about the terms of marriage.
And divorce! About working hours school hours and the availability of child care about wages welfare payments pensions and taxes?
Shape families and contribute to inequalities of private power!
The question is not whether the state intervenes in the family but how. It does. So?

You know what? 2 pts. and the possibility of 10 extra is just not worth it at the expense of YOUR education. Do your own homework. You'll thank yourself later in life.
By the way, if you think this is a worthless exercise, just wait til you get into the working world. Oh wait...if you don't learn how to punctuate a paragraph or spell, or learn proper grammar, syntax, etc., you'll never be able to create a resumé worth looking at, won't be able to fill out a job application, and you certainly won't get the job.
Everything in school has a purpose. Stop trying to skate by.

I felt tempted to add the necessary punctuation, but this isn't a paragraph--it's three or four paragraphs.
I side with the other replies on this question--you should do your own homework because you won't learn otherwise.
Simply break it up into several parts and then attack it. Make it a challenge for you to overcome and you'll do it.
