Summary/Abstract: This article is based on the assumption that introducing the feminist approach into the gender issue has had the basic cognitive-theoretical and methodological importance for the mainstream sociology. In the background of this statement there are the convictions, firstly, that the contemporary actual tendency of establishing gender equality represents an accomplishment of the civilizational standards of universal equality of all, as followed by the full respect for individual and group differences; secondly, each attempt in the contemporary sociology to keep invisible gender inequalities or to reject feminist critique of the mainstream sociological thought bears in itself the retrograde intention of keeping on and reproducing the patriarchal legacy of gender inequality; and, thirdly, if sociology really wants to understand societal reality comprehensively and objectively, it necessarily has to incorporate into its basic premises, theoretical paradigms and methodological approach the gender sensible way of thinking, as being crystallized from the best results of the feminist critique of the mainstream sociology.
