What will be an ideal response?


In preindustrial societies, gender often plays a greater role in social stratification than wealth and power. Such societies are usually rigidly sex-segregated. Males and females tend to pass through life in cohesive peer groups. Even after marriage, women and men tend to spend more time with their same-sex peers than they do with their spouses.
