Abstract

Gender inequality is common to all societies. Elaborating women's subordination in terms of power, status, and their small share in all forms of capital constitutes a basic trend in feminist studies. Feminism and radical ~ feminism in particular, emphasizes inequality within the family, as the central location of gender socialization. Some sociological theories emphasize subjective factors over the structural ones. Women's gender geology and gender stereotypes, in addition to gender socialization and gendered division of  labour, help to reproduce gender inequality.
the aim of this survey is to study the factors that affect gender inequality. re, we consider gender ideology and gender stereotypes that seem more port ant. In the city of Kerman and its surrounding villages, 682 married men were included in the survey. The results showed that there is gender    inequality in this area, and that some factors such as education, age, mbers of the family, gender socialization, gender stereotypes, and logy affected gender inequality.
