What is the difference between men and women in which type of society?

Idiocentric
Matriarchal
Patriarchal
Egalitarian

The correct answer is: Patriarchal

Patriarchal societies are characterized by male dominance and power, where men hold most of the leadership roles and decision-making power. On the other hand, matriarchal societies prioritize female leadership and decision-making. Idiocentric societies value the individual above all else, regardless of gender. Egalitarian societies emphasize equality and fairness for all individuals, regardless of gender. Therefore, option C is the only choice that specifically refers to the societal difference between men and women.
