Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Feminist theory requires scholars to critically examine and challenge the status quo, particularly related to gender roles and inequalities within families and society as a whole. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the intersectionality of power, privilege, context, and diversity in the study of families and development. The other theories listed (Attachment theory, Social exchange theory, and Sociocultural theory) do not necessarily prioritize these concepts in the same way as feminist theory.
