The journal primarily publishes empirical articles, which are both theoretically engaged and methodologically rigorous, including both qualitative and quantitative methods. The journal also occasionally publishes theoretical articles that meaningfully advance sociological theories about gender.

Gender found Guilty: Anti-Gender Backlash and (Dis)Translation Politics in Iraq

Balsam Mustafa

The Iraqi Federal Supreme Court banned the term gender in February 2024, resulting in a crackdown on gender equity and significantly undermining the space for feminist activism and advocacy. This article examines the conditions leading to the 2023 anti-gender backlash in Iraq, the discursive strategies of the backlashers, and its broader implications for feminist activism. The backlash was rooted in ongoing sociopolitical repression following the 2019 Tishreen (October) protests and a climate of widespread disinformation. It gained traction by weaponizing concepts of gender and homophobia. Opponents framed the term gender as a Western plot aimed at undermining Islamic values and societal norms. They exploited the problematic relationship between gender and translation, using deliberate misinterpretations to construct a narrative that demonizes gender and those who support gendered understandings of social relationships. Analyzing the backlashers’ discourse and incorporating local feminist voices, this study highlights the backlash on gendered activism, academic inquiry, and women’s rights. The article concludes by discussing the intertwined nature of discursive and material violence, emphasizing the erosion of human rights in post-2003 Iraq and contributing to the broader literature on gendered activism in the Middle East and globally.

“I Actually Snapped”: Conceptualizing Resistance to Street Harassment as Feminist Snap and Erosion

Bianca Fileborn

In this article, I examine the strategies of resistance deployed by people who have experienced street harassment. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 47 heterosexual women and LGBTQ+ people, I document how participants skillfully and contextually deployed resistance strategies to disrupt harassment. Notably, participants often represented resistance practices as moments of affective, subconscious snap. Drawing on Sara Ahmed’s concept of feminist snap as well as feminist scholarship on affect and embodiment, I argue that practices of resistance must be located within a much longer history of harassment which builds up or sediments in the body over time, culminating in an affective breaking point. As Ahmed suggests, “a snap is not the starting point.” Conversely, other participants described being worn down by harassment over time, which I conceptualize as a form of feminist erosion. In examining practices of resistance to street harassment, I aim to provide insight into the disruption and contestation of dominant power relations and the formation of embodied, gendered subjectivities.

Cognitive Labor, Power, and Patriarchal Bargains: Not-so-Invisible Barriers to Gendered Change

Abigail Ocobock

Cognitive labor is an obdurate source of inequality between partners, and is usually considered so because the nature of the work makes it “invisible” to those involved. Yet given that talk of the “mental load” is now widespread and the pandemic amplified awareness of disparities, gender scholars have reason to question its “invisibility.” I ask: Are partners in heterosexual relationships aware of gendered inequalities in cognitive labor? How do partners legitimate inequalities in cognitive labor, given increased awareness? What prevents partners from achieving gendered change in cognitive labor? To answer these, I draw on interview data collected during the pandemic from 81 heterosexually partnered parents in the United States. I find that cognitive labor is far from invisible to women performing it and appears invisible to men only because they use resistance strategies to avoid it. I argue that the “invisibility” of cognitive labor stems from gendered power dynamics—both interpersonal and structural—not from the nature of the work process itself. I expand understanding of the power dynamics that sustain inequalities in this domain, pushing beyond typical explanations that center hidden power. Instead, I emphasize the role of patriarchal bargains in a seemingly intractable gender structure that gives men power.

Perceived Fairness of Couples’ Division of Housework: Evidence From a Multi-Factorial Experiment in the United States

Daniela R. Urbina, Daria Tisch

Although the ratio of women’s to men’s housework hours has declined, women still spend more time than men doing household tasks in most high-income contexts. This article examines one of the hypothesized mechanisms underlying the persistence of housework disparities—fairness perceptions—via a survey experiment in the United States. We ask: What factors contribute to fairness assessments of unequal divisions of housework in different-sex couples? Given increasing trends in gender-egalitarian attitudes, do people still think it is more fair for women to do a larger share of the housework? To address these questions, we relied on a multi-factorial vignette experiment on a nationally representative sample of 1,502 adults, in which respondents rated the fairness of the divisions of housework among hypothetical couples. Our results demonstrate that respondents engage in trade-off calculations that, to some extent, justify unequal divisions of housework. Spouses’ relative earnings and work time were assessed as contributions that justify doing fewer housework chores for both men and women. Contrary to our expectations, we find that people perceive arrangements where women perform a higher proportion of housework as less fair than scenarios where men do so. These results suggest a shift in public opinion regarding prescriptive gendered norms about housework divisions, contrasting with the decreasing but persistent gender gap in housework disadvantaging women.

Respectability and Responsibility: HBCU Women’s Gender Strategies for Heterosexuality

Mercedez Dunn-Gallier

Collegiate environments are racialized and classed locations accompanied by both cultural rules for sex and romance and institutional support that make idealized experiences viable. While historically Black colleges/universities (HBCUs) endorse a racialized contract for heterosexual monogamy that upholds broader institutional commitments to respectable middle-class Black gender, these environments often cannot reliably support the sexual arrangements they compel. Using interviews with 30 cisgender heterosexual Black undergraduate women at an HBCU, I identified three gender strategies they used to navigate their romantic and sexual lives within these conditions. This research contributes to scholarship on gender strategies as interactional processes that are informed by race and class. Moreover, I demonstrate how institutional contexts facilitate or inhibit idealized sexual experiences for the accomplishment of heteronormative gender. As cishet HBCU women attempted to resolve cultural and structural constraints on their heterosexual lives within and beyond their campus, the dilemmas they faced revealed how racial, class, and gender structures make negotiations of heterosexual interaction particularly perplexing for middle-class aspirant Black women and the limitations of respectable middle-class Black womanhood to mitigate social and sexual vulnerabilities.
