Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In many ancient cultures, including ancient Greece and Rome, the female body was generally thought of as a "deformed" or "inverted" version of the male body. Women were seen as inherently inferior to men, and this belief persisted for centuries.

Answer: D
 The concept of sex and gender as separate entities did not emerge until the 18th century. Prior to this, the biological differences between male and female bodies were often conflated with social and cultural norms surrounding masculinity and femininity. It was not until the Enlightenment that scholars began to seriously question and distinguish between the two.
