Blog Post 3
In my opinion, the gender roles have been constantly changes over the years and generations. I think that gender roles will keep on changing no matter what. I think that the gender roles today between the men and women are pretty much equal than it was in the past. In the past, the women were left at home to take care of the children and to cook food for the husbands. The men were the ones who had the control over the family and worked to get money. But now, the women and men are pretty much equal and they can both vote in elections. Some stereotypes associated with being a woman is that they still are the "weaker" one. But not mentally but physically. Some stereotypes that are associated with being a man is that they are the only one that should be the physical things like lifting heavy stuff, and building things like houses. Some difficulties of being a woman is that they are more vulnerable and they can be easily in danger. Some are not strong enough to defend themselves physically. Some advantages of being a woman is that they will most likely always be put first.

I agree with you. The gender roles have changed a lot during the years. They are pretty similar now but have some differences.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely Tina. I said pretty much the same things in my post this week. Females were treated unfair compare to males but now, being in thei 21 century, women and men are equal. However, like you said, there is still stereotypes that are still with the ideal female and male.
