Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Talcott Parsons believed that gender roles are complementary; men and women have different but complementary roles in society, and these roles are necessary for society to function smoothly. He also believed that gender differences were rooted in biological differences between men and women.

Note: None of the other options (A, C, and D) accurately reflect Parsons' views on gender. While power differences, violence, and sexual objectification may be factors in understanding gender, they do not represent Parsons' theoretical approach to gender.
