Question

eleanor leacock argued that womens subordination to men could be connected explicitly to

o genetics.

the rise of private property and the emergence of the state.

o ecological factors connected with the development of domestication and sedentism
a form of binary cultural thinking that opposed male to female.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Eleanor Leacock, an anthropologist, in her work critiqued and expanded on Engels' theories. She emphasized that the subordination of women was a result of social - economic changes. Genetics (biological determinism) was not her focus. Ecological factors related to domestication and sedentism are more in line with some ecological - anthropological theories but not Leacock's main argument. Binary cultural thinking (like Lévi - Strauss' structuralism) is also not her key point. She argued that the rise of private property (which led to class divisions) and the emergence of the state (a more complex social - political organization) were the main causes of women's subordination.

Answer:

the rise of private property and the emergence of the state.
