which statement would a feminist scholar most strongly disagree with?
a) \men and women do have distinctive biological characteristics.\
b) \gender inequalities are not fixed or static.\
c) \biology, more than society, guides gendered roles, interactions, and status differences today.\
d) \physical differences alone cannot explain the stark gender differences in mens and womens social and economic roles.\

Explanation:

Feminist scholars generally emphasize the role of social, cultural, and historical factors in shaping gender roles and inequalities rather than biological determinism.

• Option a: Recognizing biological differences is not against feminist thought as long as it doesn't imply inferiority or fixity.
• Option b: Feminists believe gender inequalities can be changed (not static), so this is in line with feminist views.
• Option c: Suggesting biology (over society) guides gendered roles goes against the feminist focus on social construction of gender.
• Option d: Acknowledging physical differences aren't the sole explanation for social - economic gender differences is in line with feminist thought.

Answer:

C. "Biology, more than society, guides gendered roles, interactions, and status differences today."
