Focusing on how gendered norms and expectations are challenged, we explore in a longitudinal analysis the influence of both partners’ gender ideologies on paid and unpaid work arrangements across family life stages. Using couple data from the Swiss Household Panel (2002–2020), we estimate pooled and fixed-effects linear probability models to analyze both between-couple and within-couple determinants in undoing gender. We find diversity in how gender is undone in paid and unpaid work arrangements across couples’ gender ideologies and family life stages: While gender ideologies consistently influence paid work arrangements, they affect unpaid work arrangements only for couples living with children. Strong egalitarian ideologies can overcome gendered norms and unsupportive institutions, especially when both partners share these beliefs. However, these ideologies only partially mitigate macro-level constraints. Still, a significant minority of couples challenge dominant norms, particularly in their paid work arrangements. Our findings highlight the need for policy reform to establish supportive institutions that empower couples to align their behaviors with their gender ideologies, paving the way for greater equality in the future.","PeriodicalId":48351,"journal":{"name":"Gender & Society","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143427123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Du Bois as a foundational innovator of empirically grounded sociology who theoretically and methodologically shaped the development of multiple subfields. At the same time, this emerging body of work leaves unclear how Du Boisian sociology should be understood in relation to theorizing on the intersections of race and gender. Following Black feminist and critical approaches to antiblackness, gender, and the afterlife of slavery, I analyze the insights and limitations of Du Bois’s writings at the intersections of race and gender by examining Du Bois’s theorizations on women’s suffrage and Black people’s rebellion against slavery. While Du Bois begins to identify Black women’s intersecting oppressions, he is limited in how he theorizes on womanhood, obscuring how antiblackness operates through this gendered and racialized category for Black women. Additionally, in his writings on Black emancipation, Du Bois undertheorizes how Black women’s political agency was central to dismantling the plantocracy. Considering these insights and limitations, I demonstrate how critical Black feminist approaches to antiblackness and gender can advance the emancipatory aims of Du Boisian sociological scholarship on racialized modernity.","PeriodicalId":48351,"journal":{"name":"Gender & Society","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143393058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a case study of the Feminicídio Law in Brazil, I examine feminist writings on feminicídio, following its state incorporation as a criminal category, to address the killing of women based on gendered reasons. Drawing on materialist feminist discourse analysis, I challenge the notion that institutionalization necessarily leads to depoliticization. Instead, I demonstrate how feminists have reframed the legal framework of feminicídio to strategically confront state initiatives, such as firearm ownership projects, by employing an individual criminal category against the state. I theorize this feminist reframing as a form of praxis, illustrating how feminists can mobilize categories after institutionalization for new political purposes and contexts. This reframing involves ongoing formulations by diverse activists, extending the category’s meanings beyond the state’s definition and embracing intersectional perspectives. While the reframing of feminicídio gained traction to challenge right-wing governments in Brazil, some radical formulations were marginalized. This analysis elucidates the conditions under which feminists evoke and reframe institutionalized ideas and highlights the challenges activists face in mobilizing their ideas.","PeriodicalId":48351,"journal":{"name":"Gender & Society","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142925114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
