There’s so much more to femininity than sugar & spice. Curious about how we can value femininity in all children? We’re recruiting participants for a short study evaluating our new interactive workbook, Beyond Sugar & Spice (also available in hardcopy). See full call for participants.

Mind the (Feminine) Gap:
Documenting Femmephobic Knowledge Production and the Masculinization
of Expertise

Abstract
The field of femininities has arguably existed for over six decades, but it was not
until 2024 that a journal emerged as a home for scholarship in the field. In contrast,
the field of masculinities has had a journal since 1998. Likely owing to the greater
number of academic structures supporting the field, scholars produce masculinity
research at a rate 2.77 times higher than femininity research, and they face negative
career consequences when focusing their research on femininity or using methods
deemed to be feminine. In this article, we explore the potential reasons for, and
consequences of, this ‘feminine gap,’ with a focus on femmephobic processes of
knowledge production and the masculinization of expertise. We then introduce the
Journal of Femininities as a partial remedy to this gap through its aim to provide
a home for femininities scholarship and a reexamination of the world through a
feminine lens of inquiry.
