In today’s society, there is often a misconception among women and men and the roles they are expected to follow through with. Although there has been advances in the way women are treated, it is unfortunately still an unbalanced dynamic in our society. From an early age, women are often persuaded, even if subconsciously, to follow a certain pathway in life. They are most often associated with staying home, keeping the house clean, cooking, baking, and raising children. Certain mediums that girls are exposed to tend to sway them towards these specific wants and aspirations. The way in which certain products are presented to little girls create an image they feel like they need to master. Men, on the other hand, are taught something completely different. They are regularly habituated with more masculine and self-reliant tasks. From an early age, they are automatically seen as people that deserve to be educated and use their smart, resourceful assets to contribute to society. They are without a doubt going to get a job and become a father and husband that provides for his family. In most situations, even if the woman has a job, men are the main “bread-winner.” Going along with this belief, the products boys are often marketed portray the idea of strength and independence. Whether it is a toy or a book, men are more often than not characterized as the heroic, more capable gender. There are many cases in which different mediums exhibit the ideas of men being the superior

For centuries, there have been many societies with stereotypical gender roles that usually involve the men holding the positions of power and the women doing the domestic chores. Historically, men are usually considered to be the stronger of the two sexes and in most societies, it is up to the men to take care of the family. During the twentieth century, women in America began breaking boundaries when they earned the right to vote. More recently, there has been a breakthrough with gender roles as women are beginning to take charge in the workplace. Now, gender roles are not as defined and clear.

Throughout history, women's roles in society have been different than those of men's. Women’s jobs were generally connected to their traditional roles of caring for the home, raising children, making clothes, and cooking food, while men were the breadwinners in the families. Women had been brought up to become mothers (as well as nurturers) while men were brought up to become entrepreneurs and businessmen. It was not until the 1950s that women began to protest and fight for equal rights. Since then, many have claimed that the disparities between women and men have drastically decreased, almost to the point that it is minimalistic. However, in today's society, although we would

The generation now has made it easier to equalize men and women but there is still a substantial amount of places where gender inequality is still happening in the workplace and where females still face discrimination. Women are often discriminated in the workplace and are usually not promoted as quickly as men are and they also receive less pay. History shows that women have not always been defined as property and thought of as second class citizens. But in the 21st century many have seen a drastic change in the so called “traditional” family ways where women are suppose to stay home and take care of the household chores, food, and children and men are suppose to work to support their family and provide financial stability. Many assume that in the workplace women are more vulnerable and less competent than men because women 's instincts are to put their family before work or anything else. Whereas men are the ones who will usually stay the late hours to work. People on both sides of the political spectrum and everywhere in between seem to be fearful of what is to come and more fearful of others than they are often willing to admit.

Many women in Rome were oppressed and held back by society, but there were a number of influential women in Ancient Rome, who specifically influenced politics. In Ancient Rome, women typically had jobs like bar maids or prostitutes, and were considered inferior to men. They did not have nearly as many rights as men did at that time. Despite this, some women managed to influence society in different ways. Some women had significant influence over men, for example Torrentius Neo’s wife, who had had influence over his business and was his business partner. Two other examples of women who had significant influence over men are Livia and Fulvia, who had influence over their husbands in politics. Livia also influenced her son, Tiberius, when he was Emperor of Rome. Women also had the power to make changes in society, like when a group a women joined together to repeal the Oppian Laws. In addition to influencing men and politics, they also held special positions in religion, like the Vestal Virgins, a group of women who remained virgins for 30 years and received rights that were unique to an average women in Rome. The goddess Diana, also was an influential figure in Religion, and represented women in a positive way. Some women in Ancient Rome had significant political influence in society, especially influence over males who are perceived as being more powerful than women in the ancient world.

In today’s society, women are viewed differently than men. Women are portrayed in today’s media to have a model like physical features, or seem to be perfect. In the past, it was taboo for women to be in the work field, but in today’s society; it also seems taboo for women to be involved in the gaming industry as well. Due to how society view women, this could have an impact on the American youth wondering if a certain activity are taboo for both genders. Women should not be viewed based on their body or if being involved in an assumed gender dominated industry, with these views could lead to confusion in the younger American youth questioning on their choices.

In the United States, women are unfairly treated in comparison to men. For centuries, women have been looked down upon in society due to social structures; on the contrary, throughout time, women have proved themselves worthy of being acknowledged as an equal towards men. In society, women have been mistreated and have fought against the inequality of the genders: gender wage gap, stereotypes, countless forms of sexual harassment, and women participation in numerous forms of protests against the injustices of society are just an insufficient amount of forms with mistreatment towards women and how women have manifested themselves over time.

For centuries, the role of women in the workplace has been a topic of controversy. In earlier times it was believed that women did not have any place in the workplace; that they should stay home and take care of the family and the home. As times have progressed, so have the gender roles, allowing women to— in many cases— accept jobs and work. However, while seeing women in the workplace is now more common, wage gaps and sexist values continue to be seen, values that have been seen since the earliest of times. Equality, “the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities”(Merriam-Webster's collegiate dictionary, 1999), is lacking in the American workplace.

Throughout history, many stereotypes were applied on certain groups and grew as the years passed by. some examples of those stereotypes can be like, "African Americans are not intelligent enough", "Chinese immigrants were looked at as feminines because of their ponytail and silky rope, therefore, they can only d women's jobs like cooking and cleaning", and the greats o them all was that Women were thought of as weak and incapable individuals in the society so they can only be household and must be superior to men. Those stereotypes causes many negative affects on individuals and on the society.One of the negative consequences that can occur when stereotypes are applied for too long on a specific group is that it starts to affect the individual involved in that group and cause them to have anxiety and pressure that they may not perform as good as an average individual and prove those stereotypes. This lead to a poor performance because they think that whatever they are judged by because of where they came from or what gender they are is true. Unfortunately, this doesn't only limit the individual's potential to strive and become successful, but also limits the nation or society as a whole because it doesn't benefit from those people who have spectacular potential waiting for an opportunity and only gets successful ideas and leadership from a part of the society that doesn't have those stereotypes applied on. Women is a certain group that got triggered many times in

This whole article alone touches on the fact that women are seen as less than man, but are also comparable to a new family dog, in the sense that they are disposable – if they cannot do the tasks that the husband requires or even work he has the right deemed by not only the women, but also the culture to either: hit, divorce/leave or remarry, just like a family selling, abandoning or hitting a dog for it’s bad behavior. Not only /does/ the ability a woman has to satisfy her husband play a role in their relationship, but also her social role in (rural) Bangladesh. The social dichotomies in Bangladesh afford men positions of power above the women in their households and their communities; this creates an insecurity for women.

Children are told from a young age that they can be anything. They can be an astronaut, a pilot, the president or even find the cure to cancer. Yet, all of this is rubbish! What children are sadly forced to learn as they grow up is that some things in life are predetermined, even who and what people are. The truth is no one has any control of their identity because society chooses who and what people are, Society separates the rich from the poor, the messiahs from the outcasts and strong from the frail. Regardless of background, society subjects the individual to partake in stereotypes, assimilate its culture, and isolate the few who attempt to resist. History, as told through literature, exemplifies the struggles of individuals

Psychologists and everyday people alike have always known that suppressing a kid from doing something just because of their sex or “gender” can have a lasting and very deep psychological impact on them. However Alice Dreger, a leading historian of science and medicine, stated in a 2010 TED Talk “We now know that sex is complicated enough that we have to admit nature doesn’t draw the line for us between male and female… we actually draw that line on nature”. With this statement Dreger attempts to guide society to grasp a better understanding of the concept of gender. The existing heteronormative gender norms that are embedded among all societies are outdated because in the modern world “traditional roles/households” do not exist. Traditional gender stereotypes are too binding on a socially as well as emotionally for many. For children, the pressure of feeling succumbing to these gender roles/pressures can have a lasting psychological impact.

I believe that women should be treated differently then men in certain issues like the draft because unlike men, women are needed to produce new life. In sexual assault and rape case women should always be treated differently then men. Because men 9 times out of 10 are stronger then women and can defend themselves better then women can. Women also should have the free choice to deiced what they want to do with their bodies in regards to medical and abortion rights. Since the beginning of the formation of the United States women in general have always been treated differently by men. Up until the 1920’s women really had no say in anything the only thing women were accepted to do was to become mothers, look after the children and their husbands. But on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was finally ratified, enfranchising all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship (The Fight for Women’s Suffrage, 1,2009). On its surface the new amendment seemed to give the women the same rights as men but as the decades pass it was clear that women were still not granted the same rights as men. It was not until the 1960s that women actually push for equal rights just like their counter parts. The Equal rights act or ERA, that was first purposed by Alice Paul in 1923 according to Feminist, Suffragist and Political Strategist “Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United
