| Abstract | "Die Industriegesellschaft war eine patriarchalisch geprägte Männergesellschaft, die Frauen den Zugang zu privilegierten Positionen versperrte. Post-industrielle Dienstleistungsgesellschaften werden hingegen zunehmend zu Frauengesellschaften, in denen geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede an Bedeutung verlieren. Seit den 1960er Jahren haben sich die Geschlechterverhältnisse stärker verändert als in den 100 Jahren zuvor. Diese stille Revolution findet in aktuellen Gleichheitsdiskursen zu wenig Berücksichtigung. Ungleichheitsforscher und Gleichstellungsbeauftragte sollten ihr Augenmerk stärker auf die zentralen Herausforderungen unserer Tage richten: das Fortdauern von Klassenunterschieden sowie die prekäre Integration von Migrantenkindern im Bildungswesen." (Autorenreferat) "Industrial societies were predominantly male societies which blocked women from access to privileged positions. Present-day post-industrial service economies increasingly become female societies in which gender-specific inequalities lose salience, having undergone more profound changes since the 1960s than in the hundred previous years. Contemporary policy discourses do not yet adequately reflect this silent revolution and should focus more on two central challenges to social integration, i.e. class-related inequalities and the integration of immigrant children into our systems of higher learning."
