Primary Department

Description
Recently, people have postulated around the effects of "double entanglement" in the fourth wave feminist discourse (McRobbie, 2009), where the language moves away from "equality for women" and towards "equality for all". Some say the change in conversation minimizes progress for women. This study hopes to observe the presence of these feminist attitudes on an intimate level. Through a one year observational study in a clinical setting, 7 heterosexual couples will be coded for feminist attitudes and self-report on their satisfaction and perceived equality. We expect to find a difference in reported equality for "fair feminist" women and men.
