Question

what effect did \stag bars\ have on gilded age reform movements?
they promoted egalitarianism by allowing men and women to mingle.
they promoted suffrage, providing dedicated social venues for women.
they encouraged men to escape their families, leading to calls for temperance.

Explanation:

Stag bars were male - only spaces in the Gilded Age. The first option is wrong as they didn't allow women. The second option is wrong as they weren't for women's suffrage - related social venues. The third option is correct: stag bars let men avoid family, and this led to temperance calls (temperance was a major reform movement then, opposing excessive alcohol, often linked to family neglect from bar - going).

Answer:

The option "They encouraged men to escape their families, leading to calls for temperance." (the third option among the given choices)
