Answer to Case Study #2:Marcia is expected to accommodate her husband’s demands because of her gender. Marcia is a member of the female sex, and the society in which Marcia lives assigns the female gender role a certain value, status, and capacity to contribute to the community at large. The expectation that Marcia will cooperate with her husband's demands is based on gender — the socially defined thinking, behaving, and assumption of responsibilities. In this case, the gender roles assigned to women are subordinate to those defined for men.
