Gender Stratification
Overview: Social Problems: Continuity and Change (2016) outlines the various ways gender functions as an organizing principle in patriarchal societies (i.e., male-ruled societies), which affects every aspect of social life for young girls and women. Patriarchy refers to a social pattern in which male-bodied people dominate female-bodied people (Chapter 4 Lecture Notes 2022). Thus, your objective for Prompt Option #2 is to unpack how gender stratification operates and affects the life chances of girls, women, boys, and men.
Task #1: View the documentary titled, Miss Representation (2011) in its entirety. [Tip: Turn on closed captioning if you need to use them; run-time 90 minutes.]
