From the Paper:

"Conflict theory suggests that different cultures exist for people in different classes. These classes compete on a continuous basis for society's resources, such as money or sex. This kind of competition assumes that there is unequal status between the parties involved, which requires conflict to resolve the disparity between the parties. The gender relationship between men and woman can be examined in terms of conflict theory, which assumes that there should be a sexual division of labor..."
