Drawing on data from the International Social Survey Programme 2002 survey
‘Family and changing gender roles’, this article looks at the diversity in attitudes
towards gender relations and family values in contemporary Europe from a gender
perspective. Rather than the idea of a one-dimensional move from tradition to modernity
that would gradually erase the attitudinal gender gap, the findings corroborate
that gender differentiation plays a key role in attitudinal patterns. Furthermore,
the attitudinal gender gap is path-specific and varies according to country-specific
societal modernisation. Hence, I examine differences in the statements of men and
women to portray attitudinal gender gaps on the national level. I follow the idea that
wide gender gaps are associated either with women’s financial autonomy or with
greater societal equality in education and political participation, since they allow for
greater female awareness of masculine domination. I also argue that family deinstitutionalisation
also correlates with greater attitudinal gender gaps.
