Abstract

Polemics against the term “gender” fill the headlines. Many who deal with gender democracy, equality policy and gender studies are often criticized as being “un-scientific” and “ideological”. In each of the four chapters an example of these accusations are subjected to critical and scientific theory. It becomes clear that accusations from detractors of gender not only do not hold up to scientific criteria, but are politically motivated. The brochure gives a well-structured overview over patterns of argumentation and journalistic methods of detractors of gender as well as offering a practical argumentation aid for anyone who works in the field of gender studies.
