The question of whether work arrangements between men and women are changing has occupied gender studies and sociology for quite some time now. Persistence is analyzed frequently, that is, the question of why traditional gender arrangements persists and why individuals (un)consciously fall behind their ideals. Tomke König’s habilitation is consistently guided by the couple and its interpretations. She recognizes significant transgressions of gender categorizations (private = female, public = male) in – in the case of heterosexual couples – both women and men pursuing care, housework, and gainful work. But are such multilayered gender identities and new attributions of meaning indeed suitable for a social transformation?
