This article explores how and why, in the 1970s, Israeli Mizrahi men – Jews from Arab countries –. Key Words: Ineptness, Gender blindness, Mizrahi women, Affirmative action ********** This article began life as a lecture at a conference that celebrated the 20th anniversary of the publication of Shlomo Swirski's book Lo Nechshalim Ela Menuchshalim. Namely: (1) What is the sociological manifestation of the phenomenon referred to as gender blindness? (2) Why is it that women are often excluded in theoretical analysis? (3) Why is it that women are marginalized either intentionally or accidentally? (4) What are the causes of women's invisibility? I explain why Marxist analysis of the ineptness of Mizrahim fails to capture the specific reasons why Mizrahi women are discriminated and oppressed. My aim is to discuss a number of issues connected with gender blindness that are prevalent in sociological studies about Israeli society. more In this article I use Swirski's book (1) as a sounding board for a theoretical discussion about issues of marginality and gender in Israeli society.
