The conflict sociological perspective

Explanation:

In the conflict perspective, social relations are view as the result of the dominance of one group over the other. Marxist economic theory is an example of a conflict sociological perspective because it argues that history is the result of the relation between a dominant group and a subjugated group that conflict over scarce resources.

In the question, men are seen as a dominant group, and women as a subjugated group, thus, the social arrangement between the two groups is conflcitive, and should be questioned.
