Which of the following is a central critique of human capital theory's explanation of gender inequality? Due to childhood and adult socialization, women's (and men's) choices are heavily shaped by traditional gender roles and norms. Changing laws won't necessarily diminish class-based gender inequalities. Changing the entire culture of male domination, as suggested by the theory, will prove too difficult in the long run. Inequalities between men and women persist because they are functional for society, not because of women's choices to invest (or not) in their human capital
