Rethinking Sexual Citizenship
Rethinking sexual citizenship
"Public policy often assumes there is one correct way to be a family. Rethinking Sexual Citizenship argues that policies that enforce this idea hurt all of us and harm our democracy. Jyl J. Josephson uses the concept of “sexual citizenship” (a criticism of the assumption that all families have a heterosexual at their center) to show how government policies are made to punish or reward particular groups of people. This analysis applies sexual citi…
Women and the American New Right
The American New Right is a complex ideological configuration that combines conservatism positions on social and economic issues. Like other critics of the Right, feminists respond to a web of discourses, policies, practices, and institutions related to “family values” and market fundamentalism. However, feminist scholars also intervene in conservative discourse and practice in unique ways by examining the roles of women and the meanings of gende…
Liberal Justice and the Political Economy of Children's Well-being
This paper addresses the question of whether liberal democracies have any collective interests in the well-being of children. After critiquing approaches to concern for children's well-being, such as William Galston's, that attend more to the state's interests than to children's own interests, the paper discusses contemporary approaches to understanding justice with respect to children. In particular, it draws on Ian Shapiro's and Martha Nussbaum…
The political ideology of the neo‐traditional family
A recent and popular family values literature seeks to justify and enforce a neo‐traditional family model of nuclear heterosexual families with gender differentiated roles. Adherents of this neo‐traditional family form contend that their primary concern is with children and with family arrangements that enhance child well‐being. We demonstrate that the arguments for child well‐being in family values ideology are weak and that implicit in family v…
Public Policy as if Women Mattered
The current system of child support in the United States emerged out of an effort to recover AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) costs from absent parents with children receiving AFDC benefits. Given its origin in social welfare policy, although child support seems to be intended to aid single parents- who are still overwhelmingly women-4n supporting their children, it also provides mechanisms for greater state control over women's dec…
