Abstract

This article is written as a response to Flora Renz's ‘Gender (de)certification and the home: A new focus for feminist legal scholarship’? Renz's paper offers a thought‐provoking critique of the contemporary role of gender categories within the home. This response is inspired by Renz's proposition that feminist legal scholarship has neglected the home as a site of gendered dynamics in regard to gender categories, and further that gender functions subtly and invisibly in the home. Drawing on a feminist legal analysis, this response offers an alternative premise that gender categories in the home operate explicitly and visibly, with material and ideological consequences for systemic inequalities.
