Question 9 • Ethnic Studies Edge IC

How is patriarchy still evident in the United States today?

Answer
A
Women cannot serve in combat roles in the military.
B
Women are ineligible to own some types of property.
C
Women are discouraged from running for political office.
D
Women earn less than men for comparable roles.

Explanation

Patriarchy refers to social systems in which men hold greater power or advantage. A continuing gender pay gap—women earning less than men in comparable roles—is evidence of unequal treatment in the United States today. Women can serve in combat roles and generally have the same legal property rights as men, so A and B are not accurate.
