ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that equality splits are not only a key tactic in contemporary struggles for women's rights but that they continue a legacy of ambiguity in the struggles for women's rights among women's rights advocators, characterized by a long history of tactical inclusions and exclusions. In 2014, NKF sent a collective statement to the prime minister and the gender equality minister clarifying its standpoint on the current revisions of the anti-discrimination law in Norway. NKF explained: from a women's perspective, it is deeply problematic to introduce a more general protection against discrimination that also would include discrimination of women on the basis of gender. In Sweden, these societal conditions led the government to appoint the Befolkningskommissionen in 1938. The aim of the commission was to increase the birth rate and improve the living conditions of families with children. Equality splits are constituted by two elements: the tactic of collectivity and the tactic of opposition.
