Feminists argue that the biggest source of inequality is the patriarchy as women are oppressed by men due to the unequal distribution of power within society. They disagree with neo-Marxists that social class isn't the biggest influence on inequality but gender. Liberal feminists such as Ann Oakley, suggest that women are expected to take on more unpaid labour than man due to gender role socialisation. She argues that there are 4 process of socialisation that condition children into their expected gender roles: canalisation, manipulation, verbal appellations and activities. This illustrates how from childhood, women are socialised into being subservient to their husbands and children's needs as they are taught to be more expressive and domestic, which highlights how inequality towards women is embedded into society. Duncombe and Marsden reinforce this as they suggest women are encouraged to be more 'emotional' than men so they can provide emotional support for their husbands and children, therefore resulting in women performing a triple shift: unpaid work, paid work and emotion work. This explains how inequality is a result of hegemonic gender roles as its forces women to conform to ideal stereotypes of femininity.
