Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Critics of essentialism argue that gender and sexuality are not fixed traits but are highly variable and influenced by societal factors. In societies with low levels of gender inequality, traditional gender roles and expectations, such as women valuing men's provider role and men valuing women's domestic skills, tend to decrease because the society supports more equality and less rigid gender roles.
