Sociological Perspectives on Gender Stratification

  • Sociological Perspectives on Gender Stratification
  • The major sociological perspectives offer interpretation of gender stratification that resemble and parallel their positions on class and racial or ethnic stratification.
  • Functionalists suggest that families are organized along instrumental-expressive lines, with men specializing in instrumental tasks and women in expressive tasks.
  • Conflict theorists contend that a sexual division of labor is a social vehicle devised by men to ensure themselves of privilege, prestige, and power in their relationships with women.
  • Symbolic Interactionists argue that gender inequality persists because of the way we define men and women and their appropriate roles in society. Language helps perpetuate inequality. Feminists argue that women are disadvantaged because society is patriarchal.

Gender Differences Across cultures

  • Gender Differences Across cultures
      • Sex is considered as irrelevant to most areas of life in the Israeli kibbutzim, yet traditional gender roles seem to be reasserting themselves there.
      • Margaret Mead studied gender in three New Guinea societies:
        • Among the Arapesh, both sexes would be described by U.S. citizens as feminine.
        • Among the Mundugumor, both sexes would be described by U.S. citizens as masculine.
        • Among the Tchambuli, gender roles reverse U.S. standards.
        • Mead concluded that these case studies prove that gender does vary across cultures.
        • Critics charge that Mead oversimplified.

In sum, what is considered to be female or male is mostly a creation of society.

      • George Murdock surveyed over 200 societies and found substantial but not complete agreement concerning which tasks are feminine or masculine.
