ABSTRACT

In Geographies of Exclusion (1995) David Sibley described different possibilities of populating space, especially homes, with individual groups and mechanisms that lead to the exclusion of other groups. 1 He emphasized that all geographical spaces are potential spaces for gender discrimination, that they – and not only public spaces – represent power mechanisms and exclusion. 2 Hence, even an apartment or a single-family home constitutes a space that is characterized by gender differences more or less controlling the behaviour of the individual occupants.
