Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Conflict perspective views women as exploited because they are relegated to rigid gender roles that often limit their opportunities and resources compared to men. Structural-Functionalists, on the other hand, view gender roles as necessary for maintaining social stability and the smooth functioning of society, while Symbolic Interactionists focus on the meanings and symbols attached to gender roles and how they shape individuals' interactions and perceptions. Therefore, only the Conflict perspective views women as exploited due to their rigid roles.
