尽管在所有已知社会中，妇女作为一个整体的社会地位低于男子，但大多数关于社会分层的理论和经验工作都没有考虑到基于性别的不平等问题。在分层文献中发现的关于女性社会地位的假设，隐含地证明了将性别排除在外是一个重要变量。本文认为，这些假设在逻辑上是矛盾的，在经验上是没有根据的。如果要把性别作为一个重要的变量，那么家庭就不能再被视为社会分层的单位。如果不以家庭为单位，就会产生概念和方法上的问题。然而，包括基于性别的不平等的重新概念化可能会导致分层系统的更准确和更复杂的图景。
Although women, as aggregates, have lower social status than men in all known societies, sex-based inequalities have not been considered in most theoretical and empirical work on social stratification. Assumptions about the social position of women, found in the stratification literature, implicitly justify the exclusion of sex as a significant variable. This paper argues that these assumptions are logically contradictory and empirically unsupported. If sex is to be taken as a significant variable, the family can no longer be viewed as the unit in social stratification. Conceptual and methodological problems are generated if the family is not considered as the unit. However, a reconceptualization which includes sex-based inequalities may lead to a more accurate and more complex picture of stratification systems.
