I’m working on a sociology multi-part question and need an explanation to help me learn.

1. In Gender, Wade and Ferree write: “Men and women tend to find themselves in jobs that are stereotyped for their own gender. This in itself, however, doesn’t contribute to the pay gap. Gendered job segregation is only the beginning.” Please explain the above statement with concepts from the chapter. What other factors are important in explaining the pay gap?

2. There are three main approaches to gender equality: equal access, equal value, and equal sharing. Compare and contrast the benefits and drawbacks of each of these approaches. Describe what a feminist in each different approach might say a feminist utopia would look like.

3. In Lorber’s article, she cites Christine Delphy as saying, “Feminists seem to want to abolish heirarchy and even sex roles, but not difference itself.” What does this mean? Does Lorber argue that it is possible to get rid of gender divisions completely? What kinds of observations does her hypothetical thought experiment lead to (just discuss one or two).

4.After reading the conclusion chapter, is there anything that you will take from this class into your daily life? If so, what? Make sure to discuss information from this chapter in your answer.

(note: it is a valid answer to say no, but make sure you elaborate and use information from the course in your answer to explain why not)
