| Summary: |
This article identifies how three factors or implicit principles act in an unnoticed and naturalised way in formally gender equal democracies, and how their action explains the persistence of gender-based discrimination despite the existence of gender equality policies. These three factors are: homogenizing universalism; treating difference as otherness; and considering women’s rights as specific. The last part of the article illustrates the effects of these factors through a concrete example — the management of the Spanish crisis — and thus demonstrates that the rapid increase in the gender gap during this period wasn’t a consequence of the crisis itself, but of these implicit principles when dealing with sexual difference. |
