gender politics
Sex-role power struggles
Gender politics refers to the struggle over power, rights, and social roles as they relate to sex and gender.
The term covers debates about equality, discrimination, reproductive rights, and how masculinity and femininity are defined and valued: Gender politics dominated the election cycle.
It often implies contentiousness—the sense that these issues divide people along ideological lines.
