What does Millet argue about the control exerted by men over women?

Only physical control is exercised
Women are economically independent
Women are controlled in multiple dimensions
Psychological control is a myth

The correct answer is: Women are controlled in multiple dimensions

Millet argues that women are controlled in multiple dimensions, highlighting that male dominance over women extends beyond just one area. This includes physical, economic, emotional, and ideological spheres. Millet's perspective encapsulates the idea that patriarchal structures exert control through various means, such as social conditioning, law, economic disparity, and cultural expectations, resulting in a comprehensive system of oppression that affects women's identity and autonomy. By recognizing the multifaceted nature of this control, her work emphasizes the complexity of gender relations and the necessity for a holistic understanding of how these controls operate simultaneously, rather than focusing on a single form of oppression.
