Additionally, she tackles the incongruities in feminist theory that assert gender as a social construct and the subjugation of women as universal. She says that Western feminism's beliefs on gender are not applicable nor relevant across all cultures, citing her own culture of the Yoruba. She explains that gender was never socially constructed in Yoruba society, and relative age was instead the main organizing principle.<ref name=":02" /><blockquote>If anything, my work is the ultimate evidence about the fact that gender is indeed socially constructed.

She describes how black women have been both silenced and objectified within feminism, which leads to unequal representation and feminist consensuses that reflect only the dominant white voices. Oyěwùmí remarks on the irony of this, because feminist theory seeks to ultimately destabilize such oppressive patriarchal systems globally.<ref name=":0" /> This contradiction leads Oyěwùmí to believe black women need a new space in scholarly spaces where they can be adequately represented. Thus, she calls for a new field of "African Gender Studies", that is separate from elitist [[white feminism]], and that can properly understand and acknowledge African culture's perspectives on gender and womanhood.<ref name=":02" /> According to Nigerian writer [[Bibi Bakare-Yusuf]], while Oyěwùmí's work rightfully challenges gender stratification as a Western import, her conclusion is based on the faulty reasoning of language determinism. Oyěwùmí heavily relies on the lack of gendered expressions and the overwhelming presence of age expressions in Yoruba language to prove that these categorizations are respectively familiar and unfamiliar to this society. However, Bakare-Yusuf argues that the threat of mistranslation works both ways. Just as there are fewer systems of gendering among the Yoruba, there could be fewer systems of ageing in Western cultures. Oyěwùmí's work should serve as a naming of culturally specific systems, but not as a testimony that these systems cannot be exchanged and translated.<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last=Bakare-Yusuf|first=Bibi|title=Book Review|url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1472584032000127914?journalCode=cafi20|journal=African Identities|year=2003|volume=1|pages=119–140|doi=10.1080/1472584032000127914|s2cid=56408124|url-access=subscription}}</ref> Additionally, academics for African studies such as [[Carole Boyce Davies]] have critiqued Oyěwùmí's perspective on gender in Africa as static, and that her argument about the lack of gender of Yoruba lacks sufficient historical research for Yoruba's societal stratification pre-colonialism.<ref name=":0" /> Historian, [[Nwando Achebe]] discusses Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí's argument that gender, as a social category, was largely absent in precolonial Yoruba society in her article Twenty-Five years of Women Writing African Women's and Gendered Worlds.<ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1353/jowh.2013.0050|title=Twenty-Five Years of African Women Writing African Women's and Gendered Worlds|last=Achebe|first=Nwando|date=2013|journal=Journal of Women's History|issue=4|volume=25|pages=278|doi=10.1353/jowh.2013.0050|via=Google scholar|url-access=subscription}}</ref> Achebe notes that Oyěwùmí supports this claim through linguistic analysis and by emphasizing seniority instead of biological sex as the primary organizing principle in Oyěwùmí's book, ''The Invention of Women: Making an African Sense of Western Gender Discourses.''<ref name=":5">{{Cite book|title=The Invention of Women|last=Oyěwùmí|first=Oyèrónkẹ́|publisher=University of Minnesota Press|year=1997|edition=1st}}</ref> Achebe argues that this interpretation contrasts with her own findings, as well as those of [[Ifi Amadiume|Amadiume]]. Achebe summarizes Oyěwùmí's position as asserting that Yoruba women were not viewed as inferior to men prior to colonial rule, with social hierarchy shaped predominantly by age rather than gender. == Views on sexuality and precolonial Africa == In her work on African gender systems, Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí has been cited by historian Nwando Achebe in ''Twenty-Five Years of African Women Writing African Women's and Gendered Worlds'' as one of the African-born scholars involved in the long-standing debate over whether institutions such as woman-to-woman marriage indicate the presence of homosexuality in precolonial African societies. Achebe characterizes the exchange as "contentious", noting that both Oyěwùmí and [[Ifi Amadiume|Amadiume]] have argued that these institutions should not be interpreted as evidence of homosexuality in precolonial Igbo and Yoruba cultures. Achebe's stance is more nuanced, stating that she is not claiming that there was a complete absence of homosexuality in precolonial Africa, but that scholars, especially from the West, have misinterpreted indigenous institutions by applying contemporary Western categories of sexual orientation. Ultimately Nwando Achebe is not completely disagreeing with Oyěwùmí, rather, she is considering other factors and possibilities.<ref name=":1" /> == Scholarly impact == Other scholars have drawn from Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí's work, analyzing the impact colonial influence had on Yoruba gender systems.<ref name=":7" /> In The book chapter, Taming Cereberus: Against Racism, Sexism, and Oppression in Colonial and Postcolonial Nigeria, of Remembering Women Differently,<ref>{{Cite book|title=Remembering Women Differently: Taming Cerberus: Against Racism, Sexism, and Oppression in Colonial and Postcolonial Nigeria|last=Martin|first=Maria|date=2019|publisher=University of South Carolina Press|isbn=978-1-61117-980-4|pages=59|doi=10.2307/j.ctv7r41pr.8|url=https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv7r41pr.8}}</ref> historian Maria Martin cites Oyěwùmí's argument that precolonial Yoruba society did not organize social roles based on biological sex. Martin acknowledges Oyěwùmí's argument that colonialism significantly contributed to the separation of genders in Yoruba society. However, she notes that there was a level of "power disparity" between the sexes at that time. Her usage of the word "however" signals a nuanced engagement. She was not fully dismissing Oyěwùmí's argument. But she was suggesting that there may have been some level of gender imbalance before colonization occurred. Nigerian philosopher [[Olalade Balogun|Olalade Abiodun Balogun]] has also drawn on Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí's work in his analysis of Yoruba gender systems. In Proverbial Oppression of Women in Yoruba African Culuture: A Philosophical Overview,<ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://doi.org/10.4314/tp.v2i1.57663|title=Proverbial Oppression of Women in Yoruba African Culture: A Philosophical Overview.|last=Balogun|first=O|date=August 10, 2010|journal=Thought and Practice|issue=1|volume=2|pages=24–25|doi=10.4314/tp.v2i1.57663|via=Google Scholar|doi-access=free}}</ref> Balogun identifies Oyěwùmí as one of the African scholars who challenge the Western feminist assumption that gender is a universal social category. He describes her argument as "pertinently fascinating", noting her claim that gender is a socio-cultural construct that does not operate uniformly across societies. Balogun summarizes Oyěwùmí's position that, in precolonial Yoruba society, social roles and status were not determined by biological anatomy but rather by seniority and social relationships, and that gender divisions arose primarily through Western influence. However, Balogun adds that the absence of rigid gender categories in Yoruba society does not necessarily imply an absence of women's oppression, citing Yoruba proverbs that he argues belittle the rights, integrity and freedom of women. In a 2014 article titled ''The Nigerian Patriarchy: When and How'',<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Dogo|first=Sefinatu|date=2014|title=The Nigerian Patriarchy: When and How|url=https://dx.doi:10.17265/2328-2177/2014.05.002|journal=Cultural and Religious Studies|volume=2|issue=5|pages=270–272|doi=10.17265/2328-2177|via=Google Scholar|doi-access=free}}</ref> Sefinatu Aliyu Dogo critiques Oyěwùmí's argument that precolonial Yoruba society did not organize itself around gender and was not patriarchal. Dogo summarizes Oyěwùmí's position that Western scholarship incorrectly treats gender and women's subordination as universal and that European observers imposed a visual, anatomy-based model of social classification onto African societies. According to Dogo, Oyěwùmí's claims, rooted in linguistic analysis and the social structure of the Oyo-Yoruba, suggest that "seniority" in this sense is more nuanced and depends on different factors, although majorly chronological age difference, factors in the "kinship' can influence each individual definition of seniority. Citing both The Invention of Women<ref name=":5" /> and Bakare-Yusuf's 2003 critique,<ref name=":4" /> Dogo notes that Oyěwùmí contends that Yoruba social identity was organized primarily around seniority, not gender, and that the Yoruba language contains no gender-specific markers for terms such as "son", "daughter", "brother", or "sister", nor for occupations or social roles (Oyěwùmí 1997; Bakare-Yusuf 2003). Dogo states that Oyěwùmí's work, like Diop and Amadiume's is aimed at proving that precolonial African society was devoid of [[Patriarchy]]. However, Dogo argues that this evidence is insuffiecient to generalize about the whole precolonial Africa, noting that Oyěwùmí draws conclusions based on a single ethnic group and does not fully address that patriarchial features of the contemporary Yoruba society. Literary scholar Mabel Evwierhoma cites Oyěwùmí's argument in that social relations in precolonial Yoruba society were primarily structured by age rather than gender, and that men and women did not occupy inherently unequal positions.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Evwierhoma|first=Mabel|title=The Implications of Gender Dynamics in Contemporary Nigerian Women's Drama.|journal=Theatre, Media and Cultural Re-Engineering in Nigeria|pages=485|via=Google scholar}}</ref> == Selected Publications and Scholarly Reception == Oyewumi's Scholarship covers sociology, feminist theory and African studies, particularly focusing on kingship, gender epistemologies and the consequence of colonial intervention on African social systems.
