Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Socially defined differences between men and women have historically legitimized male dominance and patriarchy in many societies. While there may be some matriarchal societies or cases of female dominance, these are rare and do not reflect the global trend of male domination. Therefore, option B, male dominance, is the most accurate answer. Options A and C are not accurate because they do not reflect the globally dominant trend of male domination. Option D is incorrect because socially defined gender differences do have an impact on power dynamics between men and women.
