Gender is a master status for members of western culture, and as such influences the behaviors of individuals significantly. When looking at issues of gender, sociologists look to explain both how individual construct their understanding of gender and how society more largely defines and enforces gender norms. In  your discussion, explain the social purpose of the unpaid labor of women that Hochschild terms "the second shift" using both the functionalist and conflict theorist perspectives. How would a functionalist explain the behavior of women who continue to perform the majority of housework even after joining the workforce? How would a conflict theorist explain the relationship between genders as it is represented by this disparity in labor in the home?
