Columnist Lucy Kellaway's Analysis

Gender defined roles are continuously adapting to the new societal norms of the era. There is a surplus of historical events that have reimagined the traditional expectations of a man or women.

Throughout history, women have been regarded as of lesser value than men particularly in the public sphere. This is the result of gender stratification. Gender stratification refers to the issue of sexism, “or the belief that one sex is superior to the other” (Carl et al., 2012, p. 78). The theory that men are superior to women is essential to sexism. Sexism has always had negative consequences for women. It has caused some women to avoid pursuing successful careers typically described as “masculine”—perhaps to avoid the social impression that they are less desirable as spouses or mothers, or even less “feminine.”

Traditional gender roles (men performing instrumental tasks and women performing expressive tasks) are viewed as important not only for the individual but also for the economic and social order of society. Failure to maintain the traditional division of labor is believed to lead to destruction of family life as well as higher rates of crime, violence, and drug abuse. Human capital theorists claim that sex differences in promotion rates are due to sex differences in commitment, education, and experience; women are believed to have less to offer employers. Even if these differences exist, this position ignores the fact that women are in a system of inequality, where social expectations prevent them from having qualifications that are similar to men. The conflict perspective emphasizes men’s control over scarce resources. The gendered division of labor within families and in the workplace results from male control of and dominance over women and resources. Differentials between men and women may exist in terms of economic, political, physical, and/or interpersonal power. Men remain the head of household and control the property. Also, men gain power through their predominance in the most highly paid and prestigious occupations and the highest elected offices. Liberal/Equal Rights Feminists – seek equal access for females within the current social system; focus is on equality of opportunity (e.g., civil rights and occupational equality). Radical/Transformative Feminists –

Our roles in traditional gender roles have created a good girl and bad girl image for the way women should act and a patriarchy for men, creating norms and rules that make it difficult for women to gain power and be looked at for the right things, rather than the wrong things.

• Do the ideological structures appear to be natural when it comes to accepting the female's secondary position in society ?

Women are more successful than ever before. For instance there is women such as Melinda Gates, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey that are very successful. Melinda Gates is a co founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation and is an activist in philanthropy and global development and generates billions for this cause. Michelle Obama got her law degree in harvard, she advocate for the arts, education, and, above all, nutrition. Oprah Winfrey is a director, producer, entrepreneur , personality and philanthropist making a worth of $2.9 billion. Who would have thought back in the day that as a woman we have the potential to have a bright future in a world where Men have been the leaders for the past centuries.This woman apart from that their hard work have been able to thrive thanks to woman civil

When some girls look this example in their mother, they gown up thinking is normally than men dominate them. Also, when talk about job men earn more than women, it is does not matter how hard is the women job men always have better salary than women. In the Senate, supreme court, and important position to see a women work is unusual because men still discriminate women. They think that women cannot occupied an important position because they do not have the enough capacity. “In the 21st century, women and girls still face discrimination, unequal status, wage gaps, and daily violence. Feminism opposes exploitation and abuse based on gender and sexuality; feminism aims to achieve social justice” (Williams and

I agree with Rosin 's outlook to a certain point. When I look around my college campus, I can see the majority of students are female. I think that women are beginning to achieve a higher rank in the workforce and are gaining gender equality. I don 't think, however, that females are necessarily taking over the workforce. I believe men are supposed to be the ones caring and providing for their families. They should be the head of the household, the ones in charge of making important decisions that will benefit their family. But, of course, I can 't argue with the fact that women are becoming stronger leaders and are starting to take the place of men.

Gender order according to our text is labeled as “hierarchal” (2008), stating that “Men dominate women in terms of wealth, power, and social position, but not all men dominate all women” (2008). While this may be true, it is creating a divide between the two genders. This divide is apparent by looking at the pay scales between men and women, and even how the

Liberal feminists argue that the traditional forms of gender role socialisation in families, education and in the media are responsible for reproducing a sexual division in labour in which masculinity is seen as dominant whereas femininity is seen as subordinate.Oakly argues that the reason for the subordination of women in the labour market is the dominance of motherhood/housewife roles for women. Patriarchal ideology stresses the view that women’s only purpose is to raise children. Sharpe believes that education and careers are main priorities of teen girls. Girls also perform better in education which suggests that society will change at a later stage due to girls performing so well

In the article, “Is the Professor Bossy or Brilliant? Much depends on Gender.” written by Claire Cain Miller, it states that “A recent report on 248 tech company employee performance reviews found that women are much more likely to receive critical feedback than men, and women who are leaders are more likely to be described as abrasive, aggressive and emotional.” No matter what position of power a woman is in, she is seen the same way by nearly everyone. She is bossy, rude, or too emotional, despite the fact that she probably shares many characteristics with many men in her same position. Sexism is

     For the most part, women in today's society hold a position equal to that of a man;

Many men believe that women aren’t aggressive enough and strong enough to handle the sometimes-high pressure that comes with some positions. Others believe that women are better off taking the traditional gender role and staying home to take care of the family and household chores. Men only do twenty to thirty percent of the housework, and this is the expectation of many people on society today. My personal opinion on women’s mobility in society is strong, considering I am a woman. I believe that women, regardless of how we are “supposed” to act, should have the same opportunities as men. Gender roles tell us we are supposed to be submissive, quiet, and tender hearted. Therefore, we would not be able to handle a power position is society

The concept of gender denotes the distinction between culturally driven and created roles of masculinity and femininity. These specific and normalized attitudes and behaviors transcend and effect how differently men and women live their lives. Based on society’s continual re-enforcement of such gender stereotypes, we see an on-going dilemma of gender inequality. Though some may argue that men experience gender inequality, this seems to exist on a much more invasive level for women. As of recently, the awareness of gender inequality in the workplace has increased. With the fight for equal pay and equal respect, society is already making strides towards the equality of women. With that being said, one aspect of gender inequality that seems
