Conflict Theory and Gender

Men try hard to prevent women to gain access to political, social and economic resources. By doing this men will feel stronger and they can also keep their status quo. Conflict theorists see that some of the gender roles have been outdated. Also according to the conflict theorists, women that prefer careers in fields formerly made for men have every right to make the choice if they want to do it or not, even if it isnt functional for the society.
