Sociology is the scientific investigation of the rules and patterns governing societies and their evolution. When applied specifically to gender issues, it is related to cultural anthropology, as well as social activism. The methods of sociology have been embraced by Feminists to construct a history and critique of the male patriarchal system as it exists across many different cultures. Gender issues are directly related to how different cultures define what is male and female (1). Wile some aspects are found in nearly all cultures universally, related to the biological functioning of the male and female, childbirth, motherhood and fatherhood, other aspects, such as woman’s role in political power, voting, land ownership, or business may vary widely from culture to culture.
