Argentine philosopher, sociologist and feminist activist Mar铆a Lugones (1944-2020) was part of the coloniality/modernity group, who contributed to the theories on the decoloniality of gender. She claims that the category of gender is a colonial imposition, which erased the variety of gender conceptions that existed before colonisation.
Lugones introduced the concept of "coloniality of gender", extending An铆bal Quijano's notion of "coloniality of power". She sees a limitation in Quijano's theory for considering gender as hegemonic, patriarchal and heterosexual and for accepting a capitalist, Eurocentric and global understanding of gender, which does not take into account how non-white colonised women were subordinated and disempowered. With her intersectional approach, she broadens the feminist discourse, historically dominated by white women. Furthermore, she understands knowledge as something produced by communities, not just individuals, which means that we all learn from and about each other.

La fil贸sofa, soci贸loga y activista feminista argentina Mar铆a Lugones (1944-2020) form贸 parte del grupo colonialidad/modernidad, contribuyendo principalmente a las teor铆as sobre la descolonialidad del g茅nero. La te贸rica afirma que la categor铆a de g茅nero es una imposici贸n colonial, que borr贸 la variedad de concepciones de g茅nero que exist铆an antes de la colonizaci贸n.
Lugones introdujo el concepto de "colonialidad del g茅nero", ampliando la noci贸n "colonialidad del poder" de An铆bal Quijano. Ve una limitaci贸n en la teor铆a de Quijano por considerar el g茅nero como hegem贸nico, patriarcal y heterosexual y por aceptar una comprensi贸n capitalista, euroc茅ntrica y global del g茅nero, que no tiene en cuenta c贸mo las mujeres colonizadas no-blancas fueron subordinadas y deprovistas de poder. Con su enfoque interseccional, ampl铆a el discurso feminista, hist贸ricamente dominado por las mujeres blancas. Adem谩s, entiende el conocimiento como algo producido por las comunidades, no s贸lo por los individuos, y todxs aprenderemos de y sobre lxs dem谩s.
