Presentation transcript:

Gender inequality / Sexism Why do men continue to have more power than women in society?

Early civilizations / Patriarchy System in which men are dominant over woman Woman stood home through pregnancy and then nurturing the children Men were hunters, traders and warriors Men protected the group by fighting wars Men had control of weapons and gathered prestige through fighting wars

Conflict perspective Gender roles are a reflection of male dominance Men control the economic and political institutions Men have established laws and customs that protect their dominant position In doing so men have blocked women’s access to power

Sexism and Discrimination Sexism is the belief that one sex is by nature superior to the other Gender discrimination happens when a female is denied equal opportunity based on her gender. ( Males rarely get discriminated because of their gender )
