Gender Vs Material Power
I believe that they both have a major impact on power. Most people seem to believe that it is a mans job to be in charge or to handle the business. Example, like when men pay all the bills in the household and the woman stays home and watches the children. A lot of people may think the woman has it easy but in reality it is very hard taking care of children all day. As far as material things go, they play a huge role with power, because when someone is well off they can buy their way into damn near anything. Material can get people places and things that the average person or the plus 2 or 3 person can ever dream of. In my perspective I believe that material power is far more powerful then gender. If a woman has a lot of money and there is just a average man then the part will go to the rich woman because she may bring more to the table. If a man and a woman were rich and they had the same amount of knowledge then I believe the man will be chosen for whatever part in life because he is a man. Everyone expects a man to be in charge or be on the top of everyone just like the president. Obama is a maybe a +4 but the other candidate maybe is a +5 so is the other candidate more qualified? Material over Geinder this really is a hard subject but overall from the readings and what I already know i think that Material Power is better then Gender power.
