"Discuss how far sociologists would agree that feminism has led to a change in gender roles within the family (12 marks)"
thank you that will help a lot :)


Sagot :

Almost all feminists agree that gender is socially constructed. This means that gender roles are learnt rather than determined by biology, and the most significant institution where we are socialized into our appropriate roles and norms of behavior is the family.  The proof for this theory is found in the sometimes radically different behavior we see between women from different societies i.e. different societies construct being “women” in different ways (This is obviously true for men as well

Sociologist agree changes in gender role in family due to feminism till the extent of how society accepts it and views it and provide status to women in family.

Some sociologists believe that feminism has lead to change in gender roles in family in regard to the ability to file for divorce, the right of women to make their own reproductive decisions (including access to contraceptives and abortion), and the ability to own property etc. while some sociologists still promote the idea that gender inequality is part of social structure and is necessary in society.

Sociologists understand that gender disparities contribute to inequities between men and women and are a part of our social structure. Sociologists would cite the gender wage gap, the gendering of courses of study, the preference for men over women in many job routes, the glass ceiling, economic inequality from a global viewpoint, and political inequality as instances of gender inequality in the contemporary period.
