Recent Cross-Cultural Studies of Gender Roles Demonstrate That

Recent cross-cultural studies of gender roles demonstrate that

A) the relative status of women is variable, depending on such factors as the type of subsistence strategy employed, the importance of warfare, and the prevalence of a domestic-public dichotomy.
B) changes in the gender roles of men and women are usually associated with social decay and anarchy.
C) the gender roles of men and women are largely determined by their biological capabilities-relative strength, endurance, intelligence, and so on.
D) foraging, horticultural, pastoral, and industrial societies all have similar attitudes toward sex but different attitudes toward gender.
E) women are subservient in nearly all societies, because their subsistence activities contribute much less to the total diet than do those of men.
