Gender Inequality
Four themes that characterize feminist theories about gender inequality:
Men and women are situated in society not only differently but also unequally.
Inequality results from the organization of society, not from any significant biological or
personality differences between men and women.
No significant pattern of natural variation distinguishes the sexes even if individual
human beings may vary somewhat from each other in their profile of potentials and
traits.
All inequality theories assume that both men and women will respond fairly easily and
naturally to more egalitarian social structures and situations
