Question

Which sociological perspective would be likely to suggest that family decision making reflects the inequality of traditional gender stratification, in which men have held a dominant position over women, even going go far as to view wives and children as the property of the husband?

Answer 1

Answer:

Feminist sociology - (conflict theory and theoretical perspective)

Explanation:

Feminist sociology looks at relationships between power and gender at interaction in every day and within the context of larger social structures.

This means that traditionally family decision making, as well as the social issues related to women are seen as a product of the dominant role that men historically exerted on women.

They see this as the source of tension and conflict that is ongoing and how social relationships are evolving in the current day.

The perspective views the inequality present in so doing it goes away from the traditional sociology and reconceptualizes the way that assumptions on social institutions were made.

It explores topics like discrimination, sexual objectification, and stigma & stereotypes.
