  1. WAITERING/waitressing:: Engendering the Work of Table Servers.Elaine J. Hall - 1993 - Gender and Society 7 (3):329-346.
    Work organizations construct gender relations by two mechanisms. First, they allocate men and women to different positions. Instead of the traditional pattern of firm-specific segregation of waiters and waitresses, quantitative data show that most restaurants in this study have integrated wait staffs. Second, work organizations define job performances in gender terms. Qualitative data from five illustrative restaurants show that male and female servers in integrated staffs “do gender” by performing gendered service styles. Even when men and women are coservers, job (...)

  • When Dad Stays Home Too: Paternity Leave, Gender, and Parenting.Erin M. Rehel - 2014 - Gender and Society 28 (1):110-132.
    Drawing from 85 semi-structured interviews with fathers and mothers in three cities, I argue that when fathers in heterosexual couples experience the transition to parenthood in ways that are structurally comparable to mothers, they come to think about and enact parenting in ways that are more similar to mothers. I consider the specific role played by extended time off immediately after the birth of a child in structuring that experience. By drawing fathers into the daily realities of child care, free (...)

  • WOMEN AS FATHERS:: Motherhood and Child Care Under a Modified Patriarchy.Barbara Katz Rothman - 1989 - Gender and Society 3 (1):89-104.
    Although the modern American kinship system is nominally a bilateral system, the very definition of kin ties is based on the principles of patriarchy. Women do not gain their rights to their children in this society as mothers, but as father-equivalents, sources of genetic material. In child rearing as in childbearing, women may take on the role of fathers to their children, substituting poorer women to do the traditional mothering work. The resultant recasting of the classic Oedipal drama in terms (...)

  • Gender differences in sexual attitudes:: Conservatism or powerlessness?Judith A. Howard - 1988 - Gender and Society 2 (1):103-114.
    This article reevaluates research on gender differences in sexual attitudes, a literature characterized by misuse of attitude scales and misinterpretation of those gender differences that are obtained. A study by Hendrick, Hendrick, Slapion-Foote, and Foote is used to illustrate these pitfalls. The gender differences in sexual attitudes obtained in this study, characterized by Hendrick et al. as indicative of women's greater sexual conservatism, are interpreted here as reflections of the different social structural positions of women and men.

  • The Consequences of Maternal Employment During Men’s Childhood for their Adult Housework Performance.Sanjiv Gupta - 2006 - Gender and Society 20 (1):60-86.
    Using data from the first two waves of the National Survey of Families and Households, the author finds that married and cohabiting men exposed to maternal employment during childhood spent more time on housework as adults than did other men. By contrast, there is no such association for single men. These findings show that men’s housework performance is affected by both their childhood socialization and their adult circumstances, that is, whether they live with women. Furthermore, the positive relationship between maternal (...)
