Question

sweeping changes in gender relations have begun in our society, but they have not been fully realized. for example, women can now embrace valued masculine qualities and spheres of life. however, men who enter feminized occupations, adopt feminine leisure pursuits, or do half the housework sometimes face criticism. because of this, many sociologists today describe the state of inequality as an ideology of separate spheres. a second shift. gender oppression. a stalled revolution. question 60 1 pts hashi was a teenager in the 1980s. during that decade, both of her parents worked outside the home. when they would come home at the end of the workday, she remembers watching her mom prepare meals, doing the laundry, paying bills, helping her with her homework, bathing her younger brother, cleaning the house, and putting her and her siblings to bed. this type of work is referred to as the second shift. specialized division of labor. shared division of labor. the family wage.

Explanation:

• For the first question:
• "An ideology of separate spheres" refers to the idea that men and women have distinct and separate social, economic, and domestic roles. But the text shows some changes (women in male - dominated areas) but not full equality, which is more about a “stalled” situation rather than a strict separation.
• "A second shift" is about the extra work (usually domestic) that women do after their paid work. This is not the main focus of the first question.
• "Gender oppression" is a more general term. The text emphasizes a situation where change has started but not been completed.
• "A stalled revolution" fits as it describes the situation where there are changes in gender relations (like women in male spheres) but full equality (revolution) has not been achieved (stalled).
• For the second question:
• "Specialized division of labor" is too general.
• "Shared division of labor" would imply more equal sharing, but the text shows the mother doing most of the domestic work.
• "The family wage" is about a wage concept for supporting a family, not related to the work described.
• "The second shift" is the term used to describe the domestic work (cooking, cleaning, etc.) that women (in this case, the mother) do after their paid work outside the home.

Answer:

First question: a stalled revolution.
Second question: the second shift.
