In the article Doing it Fairly - A Study of Post-Gender Marriages by Barbara J. Risman and Danette Johnson-Sumerford they define the feminist theory of gender as,

"[A] system of stratification based on categorization that is created and recreated daily."

The article continues by stating the feminist view of gender is "forged" on all levels of society. This feminist "scholarship" is evidential in the distribution of the "rights, power, privilege and responsibilities" within families, and other intimate relationships, who view ideologically the "reasonable and legitimate" roles of gender in a traditional manner.

The authors state that post-gendered couples or marriages are individuals who have moved past using gender as a "guidepost" in marriage and the roles assumed in the household, as defined by patriarchy.

However, the authors point out, unless womyn were "highly educated", they lack the "self-assurance and clout" to be involved in a post-gender relationship. Also noteworthy is that these highly educated womyn marry men who are also highly educated, thus more open-minded to post-gender marriages.

While this is positive news for educated womyn, womyn of lower socio-economic class are still trapped in traditional patriarchal dogma and thus the message is that if you are white and educated, chances are better for a post-gendered marriage.

The authors close the article by stating the shortcomings of the study and the numerous limitations, which made the sample "atypical" and that more research was needed to effectively determine how post-genderism affects all relationships.
