Answer to Question #251001 in Sociology for nkulex

Question

Provide an in-depth analysis of the feminization of work to describe and evaluate gender inequality in the Post Structuralism Theory.

b) In your own view does the theory explain the gender inequality in the South African Context and why?

Answer 1

a) Feminization of labor refers to the changing nature of work, in which irregular working circumstances, previously believed to be the domain of women's secondary' work, have become commonplace for both sexes. Transgender theory from a poststructuralist perspective dissociates sex and gender, depicts both as created, and stresses the body's technologization and commercialization. This suggests that bipolar gender models will be replaced by gender spectrum models, which will have significant consequences for gender conceptualization.

b) The gender disparity in South Africa is explained by the Poststructuralist Theory. The South African Constitution safeguards all people's rights and encourages equal protection under the law, as well as freedom from discrimination based on gender, sex, pregnancy, or marital status.
