In my comments, it is argued that the first article illustrates what can be referred to as “genus light”.

Detta rimmar dåligt med den svenska riksdagens jämställdhetsmål. Istället bör man utgå från kvinnor och mäns skilda traditionella erfarenheter. Också argumentet att fler kvinnor som medverkar i processen leder till en mer jämställd planering ifrågasätts. Detta är en förenkling av maktrelationerna i planeringsprocessen.
