Sociology and the Gendered Society

Abstract: 10 pages. Perhaps the most important reason that we study gender in sociology and why feminists are wont to work towards change in the gendered order of society is because genders tend to become stratified. This means that not only are men and women viewed as being different, they are also viewed as not being equal. There is today a power differential between women and men in our society. This paper explains how this inequality manifests itself in our society today as well as how genders intersect with other forms of stratification such as race, class, and sexual orientation. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
