Social Gender Inequality In Slovenian Postsocialist Consciousness

Summary/Abstract: Due to the long-lasting androcentric order, social gender inequality suffuses all subsystems of social structure. During the socialist period, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s, the key institutional bases for its elimination (primarily the discrimination against women) were established. However, this process was occurring “in the shadows” of threats of the loss of “proper femininity”, which is said to be threatened the most by socialism. After the abolition ofself-management socialism and the re-structuring of society according to the neo-liberal pattern, in the name of “modernization” and accompanied by re-catholicization, the endeavours to renewwomen redomestication and return them to their “natural” social role werereinforced. Thispaper answers the question of how the revived multidimensional misogynist orientation is expressed in the awareness of the adult population. The data collected by ISSP and EVS (within the Slovenian public opinion) investigations from 1991 to 2012 show (partially and gender dependent) a changein the collective consciousness regarding gender inequality –from the egalitarian orientation,through re-traditionalistic in the 1990s, to the reinforced prevalent egalitarian orientation with some traditionalist additions at the beginning of the 21st century.
