Gender Ideology
Gender ideologies do not consistently predict or explain the distribution of housework and childcare in a household, and egalitarian beliefs do not necessarily translate into an equal division of tasks. From: Handbook of Work-Family Integration, 2008

1.3 Gender and Framing Processes
Social movements often appropriate gender ideology to legitimate and inspire collective action and to identify a challenging group's commonalities. Contemporary scholars of social movements rely upon two concepts for analyzing the unique frames of understanding that people use to define their shared grievances: collective action frames and collective identities. To the extent that gender operates as a constitutive element of social interaction and relationships, it is not surprising that images of masculinity and femininity appear in the language and ideas social movement activists use to frame movement demands and injustices. Gender dualism, for example, was woven tightly into German National Socialism. Not only was masculinity glorified and male bonding considered the foundation of the Nazi state, but gender-linked oppositions served as the metaphor for the polarization of Jews as weak and emotional and Aryans as strong and rational. The language of gender difference and power is pervasive in contemporary women's self-help movements and serves as a major framework for understanding the problems that trouble women. In the postpartum self-help movement, gender plays a pivotal role in mobilizing participants.
