Question

Discuss any four sociocultural practices that perpetuate subordination of women in your community

Answer 1

Answer:

Social-cultural practices plays a crucial role in women's subordination, because there are required implications of culturally embedded power and control systems that allow gender inequality.

Explanation:

The institution of marriage witnessed where women turned into second class leaders of the family, that is, they play second fiddle to men in marriage.

The gender roles assigned to women restrict their movement outside the domestic spheres.

The religious image of womanhood is portrayed as sacred and therefore they are deprived of sensual pleasure.

As a social institution, the family, sets stage for the subordination of women, as children are socialized from a young age to behave in such a way that is considered normal by society. Children are taught to accept their sexually differentiated roles.
