AnswerClick to flip back
A
Power is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that is shaped by a variety of factors, including sexuality and gender.
💡 Explanation:
The queer theory of power argues that power is not a neutral force, but rather a tool that is used by dominant groups to maintain their control over marginalized groups. This includes the use of power to construct and enforce sexual norms, to regulate sexual behavior, and to marginalize and oppress LGBTQ+ individuals.
