ACT
Why is gender even a thing? To answer that, we're going back to our three sociological paradigms and how each school of thought approaches gender theory. We'll look at the structural-functionalist view that gender is a way of organizing society into complementary roles, the symbolic interactionist take on how gender guides our daily life, and conflict theory's ideas about how gender distributes power within society.
