Question

Some people believe that women suffer from gender inequality in this society because gender roles __________. A. are applied very traditionally by some B. have not changed since the early 1800s C. are inflexible and similar in every culture D. are incapable of expressing true equality

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter A.

Gender roles have changed a lot throughout the years, but in some cultures they are still applied very traditionally, meaning that, even though women role is not the exact same one as it used to be in the 1800s, for example, in some countries, cultures, and some people, still see women with this antiquate view.

100 years ago, in a lot of countries, women didn't have the right to vote, their role in a family was to be a housewife, and they could never think of getting a job, for example.

Even though a lot has changed in a lot of countries, a lot of cultures and religions still don't accept these changes and there's still a lot of inequality in the world.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer would be are applied very traditionally by some. There are a lot of countries today that remains to the traditional beliefs making women suffer from this issue. A lot of places in the world still believes in a patriarchal type of family. Hope this helps.
