Negative Expectations In Society

Men and women have always been unequal, and it has always been an issue of women wanting to be equal, and men wanting to be superior. Maybe in other countries across the globe they are more equal, but in America they are not as equal and women want them to be. Women are portrayed as the ones that are supposed to stay home and take care of the kids and cook and clean the house all the time. Men are supposed to be the workers of the family and they are not supposed to be the ones that cook the meals or clean the home. The man is supposed to be the worker, the woman is supposed to be the housewife, and women are supposed to give birth to kids

Since the beginning of time women were never treated as equals to men. Men have always been seen as stronger and the providers for their families. Women are often viewed as the nurturers and caregivers for their family. Women’s role in society has always been to make sure that everyone is happy and healthy while, men go out and work to make sure that women have the necessities they need to keep everyone happy.

Throughout history, men and women have been viewed in utterly different spheres. Men have been, and still are, believed to be the hard working individual who is in charge of “bringing home the bacon” and supporting the household finically. On the other hand, women are expected to have little to say, the house spotless, supper on the table, the children bathed, fed, in bed, and educated, all while maintaining a flawless hairdo and makeup. These stereotypes seem a bit offensive nowadays, but if you really consider it, it has been and most likely will be this way for our entire existence.

Avoiding the Norm In our society men and women have not always been equal, and even today we still strive for equality. Traditional stereotypes for both genders have been around for decades. Traditionally men were the breadwinners, financially taking care of their families.

Gender can happen in the real world which can lead to personal experiences. I have experienced some gender inequality throughout my life and have had family situations since I have been alive. For instance, my parents lived in a time where men went to work and the women had to clean, cook, and stuff around the house. I have experienced some problems myself by my brother and I having to do outside yard work while my sister only does inside work. She claims that yard work is “for men and it’s a man 's job.”. What I have to say about that is that men and women don 't need to do work based off if it is a man or woman’s job, work is work and you shouldn’t base it off gender inequality. Another situation I was faced with was when my mom was trying to get a job, she was trying to get a job at selling Tupperware. She was faced with “you can’t sell Tupperware because you are a woman and people don 't buy stuff off of women.”. She sticked with her gut and went for it, now she is very successful in her business and doesn’t let what a guy said to her stop her.

As a Latina, I grew up with the mentality that Family comes above all. Though not restricted to Latin countries, it is commonly believed in Mexico to this day that women are to stay home and take care of the children while a man works to provide for his family. As much as I love my culture, this belief is something I have always struggled with. My family migrated from Mexico at a juvenile age but brought this principle with them. Consequently, I have always had the job of cleaning the house, cooking for my brothers, and taking care of my youngest brother. I have never had a problem with taking responsibility when I’m needed, but it’s hard when your siblings automatically become your children because of your gender. I am expected to know how to be an excellent cook, cleaner, and nurturer at the age of 15 in my culture. It is a common joke that if a Hispanic girl cannot flip a tortilla without a fork she is not a woman. In addition to assumed responsibilities, there are certain roles that men take in Mexican cultures in which women are just not allowed to be part of. For example, I would never be allowed to be outside with my dad if he

When my mother stayed at home nurturing and caring for my siblings and I without working to secure a job. I assumed that was females destiny in life to stay at home, but I did not like that idea I had to stay at home and be a servant to a man. Yet, the society told me I had to stick with that notion in another to have a happy life. Fortunately, things fell apart, as I grew older, I began to realize that it was tough for females to accomplish or success in the same career as men. Additionally, when I was in high school, the girls thrived in class, I never knew that the male teacher disliked the idea that girls were succeed than the boys. The men were filled with rage that they decided to confront the boys in the class and told the boys it was a disgrace against manhood. Once the teacher left, the boys were angry and said lots of awful hated speech towards the girls. They stated that girls, should not be in class and they should stay at home clean the house and raise their children. Nonetheless, I decided to fight back with that hateful speech and sooner or later the girls joined in. Finally, we won the argument. Regardless of the victory in class, I realized that the mainstream media portray women in a despiteful manner, low wages income, and nurturing the home. Although, things are changing gradually, ladies should still strive to make sure the equality last in the

When my grandparents were being raised, they were raised with a Patriarchal state of mind. My grandparents were raised to believe that the men are the “breadwinners” of the home,

I am the only female in the house. I grew up with two sisters, my mom and dad. I had never been concerned with making sure my boys respected women. I thought it was a given. My husband is very pro-woman. He never insist that something is woman’s job or a man’s job. He cooks, does the laundry, change diapers, etc. I seriously think the man would have carried our babies for me if he could. So where did get these gender role notions?

It is an inarguable fact that the lives of men and women differ greatly. No matter which culture is observed, it is clear that each gender has different roles in society, whether they are positive or negative. Evidently, this is true in the case of Orthodox Jewish history and traditions. Everything from the portrayal of each gender in the Torah to each of their respective mitzvahs is dissimilar in many ways. They have different rights under Jewish law, and different roles in a Jewish family. Under traditional Judaism, men typically have more responsibilities in the Synagogue, whereas women have more in the home (Rich, 2015). In this situation where the expectations for one group are so unlike those of the other, it is important to consider

For centuries women have always strived to be as equal and superior as men. From shifting themselves as the careful house wife attending to the children, to helping out in factories and serving in war during the early 1900’s. Then eventually women received the right to vote. Women then began to receive and further their education, becoming professionals like men were. The past century has been a century where women have been catching up to men proving to be just as superior as men.

For hundreds of years, women have never been given equality, from being able to vote, to how they are able to dress. Guys are always seen to be the stronger gender or more important gender so the girls are always the ones to get in trouble if they are to do something not expected or inappropriate in the male's eyes. Men are the ones who get women in trouble. Men are the ones who can't keep their hands and eyes to themselves in most cases. Men are the reason women are seen as unimportant. Women used to not be able to do certain jobs or have certain careers because it was described as being a male only position. For example, anything in the military was completely one hundred percent off limits for a women to do unless, it was the position of a nurse which still was a very hard job to get in the beginning and women were treated like crap when doing

Did you know that elephant owners in Asia can keep their elephants in their yard with a simple piece of twine and a post in the ground? I’m sure you’re probably thinking, “How is that possible? Elephants are strong, smart, and have potential to do huge things.” The answer has nothing to do with the twine and the post; but it has everything to do with the twine around the elephant’s mind. The thing is, teenagers are a lot like elephants. We are strong, smart, and have incredible potential, but somehow we are held back by a tiny piece of string, held back by a lie; the lie that teenagers are rebellious, good for nothing, lazy bums. Today I am going to be talking about how this lie affects the relationship between adults and

“From a traditional view some may believe that women should be nurturing towards their family and the male is believed to be head of the household” (Blackstone, 2008:337). In some traditions and culture men believe that women should stay at home, cook, clean and look after the children, while the man is the breadwinner in the household and provides a stable income.

Within and across different cultures, we can find great consistency in standards of anticipated gender roles. In the United States, like many other countries, males are expected to be independent, assertive, and competitive. Females are expected to be more passive, sensitive, and supportive. For example, when a woman gives birth, she is the one that is expected to stay home and take care of her children while the father goes to work and is the breadwinner for the family. In society, it is more acceptable and common to see the women stay home and take care of the house and children while the husband goes to work instead of the other way around. Stay at home dads are not as common as stay at home moms. However, it is up to the individuals on what they decide as a couple. Because of this, gender appropriate behaviors can be seen because of sex segregation and starting at young ages.
