The Selfish Gender, or the Reproduction of Gender Asymmetry in Gender Studies

In: Studies in East European thought, Band 55, Heft 1, S. 3-25

Abstract

Gender discrimination can be overt & deliberate. It can be covert & indeliberate. In the latter case it is called 'asymmetry.' The gender studies community aims to reveal & eliminate any forms of gender asymmetry. However, insufficient methodological & theoretical reflection implies the reproduction of gender asymmetry throughout gender studies. Adapted from the source document.
