Key findings (300 words)
This article centers on the extreme gender segregation that is abundant in every workplace of today’s society. To be more specific, the authors mainly focus on why extreme gender segregation occurred and what instances extreme segregation is inside the workplace, using essentialism and vertical inequality. And to serve as evidence, using the model they made to find answers, the result of their study shows how many forms of essentialism centers on extreme gender segregation.
One significant finding in their study was the development of their comprehensive model where they based it on three sources of segregation: (1) the “female-advantaging” is a form of essentialism where women are being encouraged to not proceed for occupations that requires male-type skills and less pay, (2) the “male-advantaging” is a form of essentialism where men are imaged towards a high paying occupation and require male-type skills, and (3) the verticle principle that shows the possibilities of men pursuing distinguished occupations despite removing all forms of advantages that come with essentialism. At the same time, the second significant findings would be the great influence of essentialism towards gender segregation. They explained that the analytic, physical, and interactional forms or comprehensive operationalization of essentialism create a wide segregation area in an array. They also claimed that stories of segregation are authentic and are sometimes presented in a very detailed manner.
Initially, two revolutions are currently still on the run, and these are the vertical and essentialist revolutions. The authors suggest other revolutions as countermeasures since both still haven’t fully addressed the situation and provided strong residuals. These would be the first and second revolutions, where the second revolution would accompany the first, which focuses on essentialist segregation. Though the revolutions have their risks, with the help of liberal-egalitarian terms, protection could take place.
