How Gender Ideology Impacts Employment and Family Arrangements in Swiss Couples","authors":"Christina Bornatici, Isabelle Zinn","doi":"10.1177/08912432251317464","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/08912432251317464","url":null,"abstract":"Drawing on gender structure and life course theories, this article examines how heterosexual couples “undo gender” in their work–family arrangements within the conservative context of Switzerland. 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}

I draw on, and combine, theories of religious defection with those on the development of feminist consciousness to show how some Muslim women, who joined the Salafi community in London between 1980s and 2010, later moved out of the community in different directions and to varying degrees, after developing a pious feminist consciousness. This pious feminist consciousness, I argue, involves the identification of gender inequality in gender-traditional religious communities as well as the development of an oppositional consciousness in which religion is critically applied to contest women’s subaltern position in these communities. This work not only furthers our understanding of the gendered dimensions of religious defection, but also highlights the processes through which women may come to participate in religious feminism, and the different forms of agency they exhibit in the process.","PeriodicalId":48351,"journal":{"name":"Gender & Society","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143417208","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}
