question 156

Multiple Choice

Jacques believes that, for the most part, women should certainly be educated and free to choose the careers they want to pursue but, in fact, in his view they are far likelier to be happy as mothers taking care of children. Uma has a very different view about the way to raise children in order for them to be happy. She thinks that gender expectations ought not play any role in how they are raised, since this only puts limits on the children. What do sociologists call their respective views on child rearing?

• A) gender ideology
• B) gender stereotyping
• C) socialized patterning
• D) patterned expectations
