Answer 1

Answer:

Two social (gender based) identities - Men & Women. And, brief about their position in society.

Explanation:

Two social identities based on gender are - Men & Women

Men & women have been different & crucial complementary groups in a society. However, patriarchy has led to a discriminatory social set up , favouring men & against women.

Women face many challenges in various parts of society. They get less economic opportunities - access to education , jobs, occupational segregation, gender wage gap. They also suffer social injustices - get less superior & prioritised treatment, than men, in many arenas of life. They  are also victim to many gender based violences like domestic violence

This gender based discrimination highlights many dimensions of two social groups, based on gender - that are men & women.
