You walk into your women's studies class, and you look at the person sitting to your left. he is the only male in the class; he is about 20 years old, wears a wedding ring, and carries a bag with a tennis racquet. which of his characteristics is most likely his master status in the context of this class?

His gender is most likely his master status in the context of the women's studies class.

Explanation:

Although the other people in the class might be the same age as him and some of the other girls might be married, in the context of the class, the gender difference will play the strongest role in the different opinions that take place. Giving that in our society, the social construction of gender is so embedded in the differences between genders, it is not likely for women to understand the experience of being a man, nor a man the experience of being a woman in our society. Therefore, in a class of women's studies, the perspective of a man, although it might be different from the rest of the opinions, can help understand the women and men's positions in society from a different perspective.
