Our commentary focuses on feminist insights into concepts of equality, citizenship, democracy, & political discourse, & how such a perspective may raise issues & questions not considered by Johnson & Johnson's (this issue) theoretical model for civil political discourse. To illustrate our points, we draw on a number of cases from around the world to highlight some of the obstacles & challenges women face as they try to participate in civil political discourse. We argue that unless the real external influences that limit women's ability to equally participate are addressed within a model of civil political discourse, in the end, such a model only will reinforce inequality. 13 References.
