I have a prediction that the 40 marker in section B will either be the feminist perspective of inequality or something about gender inequality overall but not sure about the 20 marker

I also agree. Feminism/gender inequality has never come up on its own as a 40 in an exam series. The 20 I have no idea but doubt it'll be social class as that was last years.

I’ve seen people say 20m might be gender or age but I feel like if feminism comes up as 40m they won’t use gender as 20?

They could probably ask about female inequality and male inequality individually in the 20 marker, I don't see them doing that in the 40 tho

It could be social class, gender, ethnicity or age for social inequality

my thoughts for section b are:
20m: age inequalities (old or young advantage or disadvantage) or gender inequalities (male or female advantage or disadvantage)
40m: ethnic inequalities (as they’ve only asked about functionalism in 2018) or gender inequalities.

social class is also a thought for the 40 marker but they asked a general theory question not long ago and a 20 marker on it last year so didn’t think it would be likely?

My teacher said they might do:

20: Gender/feminism
40: Weberian or feminism

Focus on

Weberian & Feminism because she said they have to ask a Feminism question. Which wasn’t in paper 1, and won’t be in paper 3 as it was in paper 3 for the previous years so 90% chance it’ll be in paper 2. And Weberian as it has never come up before and just like the post modernist question in paper 1 it hadn’t come up before so they might due process of elimination.

Summary
FOCUS ON WEBERIAN THEORY AND FEMINISM&GENDER
