Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Over time, cultural expectations and attitudes towards gender equality have shifted, leading to a greater recognition of gender inequality as a social problem. This is reflected in changes in laws and policies designed to address gender inequality, as well as in public discourse and social movements advocating for gender equality. Therefore, it is more accurate to say that we now expect men and women to be socially equal. Option A is incorrect because subjective perceptions can be influenced by a variety of factors and may not always reflect objective truth. Option B is incorrect because it contradicts the assertion that people today view gender inequality as a social problem.
