Question 7 • CA-Ethnic Studies

How is patriarchy still evident in the United States today?

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

Explanation

Patriarchy is a system in which men hold greater social or economic power than women. One way it can still be evident is a gender pay gap: women, on average, earn less than men, including in comparable roles. Women can own property and serve in combat roles, so B and D are not accurate descriptions of the United States today.
