Women, Men, and Society

             The book Women, Men, and, Society by authors Claire M. Renzetti and
             Daniel J. Curran offers a detailed look at gender inequality in society.
             The emphasis is on showing how gender inequality and sexism affect both men

             real life. In doing so, this book was less of a scholarly approach, and
             more of a practical approach. The authors did not just present scholarly
             terminologies, but made it clear how these terminologies operated in real
             life. This was effective in creating understanding, because I was
             immediately able to see how they related to my own personal experiences.
             To illustrate this, I will now describe three terminologies from the book,
             by offering examples of how they have been involved in my own experiences
             One of the terminologies described by Renzetti and Curran is the
