Historically, these products have simultaneously promoted messages of shame—menstruation is dirty and requires concealment—and modernity or have linked their use to overcoming the constraints of menstruation to become modern and liberated. In this article, which analyzes the websites of companies that produce menstrual cups (an insertable, reusable menstrual technology), I identify a new use of this “modern” discourse that emphasizes the interrelationship between “modern women” and female empowerment. Notions of modernity are connected to depictions of menstrual cups as modern technologies that invoke modern ideologies and promote living a modern lifestyle—all conceptions of modernity that seek to empower women in their menstrual health and wider lives. Although these intertwined discourses of modernity and empowerment reflect those of feminist menstrual activists, menstrual stigmas often remain embedded within these messages. Analyzing the persistent intermixing of these contrasting discourses allows for expanding the theories of feminist technologies to consider how technologies may benefit, empower, and destabilize patriarchal systems in subtle and diverse ways.","PeriodicalId":48351,"journal":{"name":"Gender & Society","volume":"37 1","pages":"699 - 726"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49396475","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}

Theories of gender suggest that men’s dominance in the gender hierarchy affords them greater privileges than women, whereas theories of status predict that men would be subject to greater scrutiny precisely because they occupy a higher-status position. We interrogate the nature of gender categories themselves by examining which theories hold in the context of gender nonconformity. Using a nationally representative survey experiment, we examine how a child’s sex assigned at birth affects their likelihood of being reclassified as transgender for engaging in gender-nonconforming behavior. We find that people are more likely to reclassify boys exhibiting feminine behavior into an alternative identity category (transgender) than girls exhibiting analogous masculine behavior. Thus, membership in the “male” category is more fragile than in the “female” category. These findings suggest that gender nonconformity is itself a gendered process, and that the durability of membership in a social category depends on the status of that social identity. This study provides the first causal evidence of the effect of gender nonconformity on perceptions of both transgender and homosexual identity.","PeriodicalId":48351,"journal":{"name":"Gender & Society","volume":"37 1","pages":"553 - 583"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48600103","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}

We implemented a survey experiment in two waves of the representative German GESIS Panel in 2019 and 2020. Respondents received one of three short evidence-based information primers about (1) long-term income risks of maternal employment interruptions, (2) nonsignificant paternal wage penalties, or (3) increasing rates of paternal leave usage in Germany, or were allocated to the control group that received no further information before rating the division of parental leave in fictitious couples. We apply ordinary least squares regression models with lagged dependent variables to a sample of 5,362 vignette evaluations nested in 1,548 respondents. Remarkably, we find that the effects of all three priming conditions vary significantly depending on whether respondents are asked to judge situations for couples where women earn more or less than their partners. Our findings mostly point to stronger effects of priming with information on income risks compared with paternal leave usage trends and to more pronounced changes in normative beliefs among childless respondents.","PeriodicalId":48351,"journal":{"name":"Gender & Society","volume":"37 1","pages":"493 - 523"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48943833","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}

Enríquez offers many causal explanations throughout the book to place the smaller events of her participants’ lives in a larger social context. However, she gives significant weight to the Nicaraguan revolution for mitigating structural violence and providing these women with “a new sense of possibilities for the future” (p. 204) that made migration one of the futures that became both thinkable and possible for these four women. The book likely has broad appeal for undergraduate courses. Many of us teach introductory courses to sociology in which we ask students to read selections from C. Wright Mills and engage with the concepts of personal issues of milieu, public issues of social structure, and the sociological imagination. In those courses, we often ask students to apply these concepts to their own lives and use them to think about their life chances given their larger historical and social contexts. The situated stories of Andrea, Silvia, Ana, and Pamela can help students cultivate a new lens for making sense of the world and spark their sociological imaginations.","PeriodicalId":48351,"journal":{"name":"Gender & Society","volume":"37 1","pages":"656 - 658"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49374872","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}

Chapter five tells the stories of bed activists through their own experiences, their dreams and imagination, where another world is possible despite the ableist realities we all face daily. The postscript offers important insights from our collect experiences in the mass disabling event of the COVID pandemic. With special care taken to acknowledge the real fatigue disabled people experience educating an ableist world inside a pandemic, Nishida challenges readers to center disabled voices at this time and follow their lead while simultaneously voicing the frustration of writing about a pandemic inside of one. The most challenging part of this text is reading the ableist perspectives of largely Black migrant women care workers of mostly white disabled Medicaid enrollees. Nishida captures the discriminatory design built into the care worker/care partner relationship and the resulting antagonisms that make the situation tough to negotiate. Care workers are working in a system that already devalues their labor, partially because of who they are and who they care for. Care partners are invited into a system that allows them to think of their care workers as service providers, with the accompanying potential for racialized interactions with “the help.” Nishida traverses this tension well, but the complexity of the multiple power differentials in this arrangement is difficult to track and address with equity, begging the unanswered question of whether the shape of these multiple power imbalances is similar, a potential new line of inquiry this text might inspire. Just Care, in both content and form, embodies just care.","PeriodicalId":48351,"journal":{"name":"Gender & Society","volume":"37 1","pages":"650 - 654"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45494452","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}
