Answer 1

Unequal distribution of rewards between men and women, reflecting their different positions in a social hierarchy is referred to as gender stratification.

Explanation:

Gender stratification means segregating or ranking based on gender. Men were given high social ranking compared to women. In simple, gender stratification is known as gender inequality.

The prestige, social value and personal freedom were not common for both men and women. Women were always restricted in these criteria. This affects their position in the social hierarchy.

The role of men or women in politics clearly reveals the stratification based on gender. Men were given higher authority whereas women were constricted.
