The Burden of Proof is to be with Those Who Argue for a Disparity of Privileges, or Why to Brush up Old Philosophical Arguments

Mariana Szapuová

Gender a výzkum / Gender and Research 2011, 12 (1): 3-12  

Justifying the subordinated position of women in society by appealing to biological sex diferences has a long history and is popular today, too. In this article the author aims to reconstruct some counter-arguments against such kind of legitimisation of gender inequality developed by Harriet Taylor Mill and John Stuart Mill in the 19th century. These philosophers articulated the problem of women's subjection, and in line with their liberal position argued for women's liberation on the grounds of freedom and social justice as well as on those of ethical utilitarism. The author argues that the arguments of these philosophers merit attention even today.

The Gender Revolution: Uneven and Stalled

Paula England

Gender a výzkum / Gender and Research 2011, 12 (1): 54-62  

In this article, the author describes sweeping changes in the gender system and ofers explanations for why change has been uneven. Because the devaluation of activities done by women has changed little, women have had strong incentive to enter male jobs, but men have had little incentive to take on female activities or jobs. he gender egalitarianism that gained traction was the notion that women should have access to upward mobility and to all areas of schooling and jobs. But persistent gender essentialism means that most people follow gender -typical paths except when upward mobility is impossible otherwise. Middle-class women entered managerial and...
