With respect to feminist approaches, sociology in the tradition of Norbert Elias’s process and figuration theory could be considered to be invisible. Within a long-term perspective, though, the continuing inequalities seem not as crucial as the heterogeneous progresses concerning education, role models, and biographical options for both men and women. This article argues that figuration theory is well-suited for the analysis of the remarkable changes of private and everyday relationships and less to the continuity of discrimination, sexism, and violence. Process sociologists are particularly interested in the power struggles and balances in contemporary societies concerning gender. In the long run, changes toward more egalitarian structures take place slowly but they do happen—and they deserve more attention in gender research and social theories than they have received just up to this time.
