पर्याय

• Unequal roles assigned by the society to men and women

Answer 1

When we speak of gender divisions, we usually refer to unequal roles assigned by society to men and women.

Explanation:

In sociology and civics, “gender” differs from “sex”. While sex refers to biological differences, gender division refers to a societal division. It is based on assumptions and social expectations that dictate uneven responsibilities, tasks, and vocations for men and women in society (for example, the sexual division of labour, which requires women to conduct domestic work while men work outside).
