We propose to rethink gender relations from the hermeneutical philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer. In his work, Truth and Method, the german philosopher raises the search for consensus against the incomprehension that characterizes human relationships; bet on an authentic dialogue that, anchored in a hermeneutically formed consciousness, bridges the diversity of senses. Gender understood as a social structure that is reproduced in relationships, will consider men and women in the strategies of overcoming inequalities. We take away from gadamerian proposals a commitment to communication between women and men, that considers the conditions that will make it possible, to generate understanding and reach agreements for better coexistence. It is concluded that the approaches of the thinker can contribute to gender studies, incorporating one of its main limits: power and its unequal distribution between men and women
