In this post-identity age when one’s sex, race, or ethnicity should not matter, why still speak about gender? School of Law Professor Linda McClain, co-author of “Gender Equality: Dimensions of Women’s Equal Citizenship,” says gender still matters because “there is still a gap between ideals of sex equality and of equal citizenship in the reality of many women’s lives.” She makes the case in a two-part series of columns on the FindLaw legal Website, the first dealing with the persistence of inequality in the United States, and the second addressing global inequality.
