ABSTRACT Time comes a wooing for each of us long before we encounter the vocabulary to name what it does. Chronos, in Greek mythology, devours his children, a reminder that time is not a neutral backdrop but a force that disciplines and decides what survives. Contemporary organizations institutionalize their own version of Chronos through promotion clocks, responsiveness norms, and performance cycles that reward speed, continuity, and linear progression. Yet time is unequally distributed. Women and girls perform approximately 16 billion hours of unpaid care work each day globally, and the gender gap in unpaid work is projected to persist for decades. Institutional clocks are designed for uninterrupted bodies and uninterrupted careers, while many lives are structured by care, disability, bureaucratic sequencing, and fluctuating capacity. This commentary advances temporal injustice as an inequality regime through which tempo, continuity, and responsiveness are converted into merit. Drawing on crip theory, the commentary positions crip time as an analytic lens that exposes how ableist temporal expectations are embedded in standards of productivity, legitimacy, and merit. The temporal injustice, crip time, and gender nexus is developed through four dimensions: chrononormativity and temporal structuring; gendered care and the privatization of temporal costs; bureaucratic time and organizational checkpoints; and embodied accumulation and temporal cartographies.
