What is an example of gender stratification?

  1. Families that have different political leanings

  2. Romantic relationships based on mutual respect

  3. The unequal pay of men and women with similar jobs

  4. The division of housework between spouses

The correct answer is: The unequal pay of men and women with similar jobs

An example of gender stratification is the unequal pay of men and women with similar jobs. This is because gender stratification refers to the unequal distribution of wealth, power, or privilege based on gender. Choice A is incorrect because political leanings are not necessarily based on gender, and would therefore not be an example of gender stratification. Choice B is incorrect because mutual respect is a healthy characteristic of romantic relationships and does not necessarily reflect unequal distribution of wealth, power, or privilege. Choice D is incorrect because the division of housework does not inherently reflect unequal distribution of wealth, power, or privilege based on gender.
