Women 's Influence On Women

Women have been downgraded and mistreated because of their gender. From birth, Women and Men grew up with very different rules to follow. Men were raised to be the head of the house and do work for a living. Growing up as little girls, women were taught to raise their kids and make food for their families. “Strong family structures were necessary because the family was the basis for all other institutions. The government, church, and community all worked through the nuclear family unit.”(“Gender and

Through out history many would say that women have finally been liberated from the cruel injustice of the patriarchal society. Through Women’s suffrage to what seems to be an equal paying jobs now in society. Yet time and time again, society had fail to comply with the freedom that females deserve. Women’s population as a whole in a global aspect still to this modernized society are being looked down upon for their gender, believing that women are weak beings and are incapable of making logical decisions without the waiver of emotions. (Even after hundreds of years for society to become equal, on a global ideal, misogyny is still extremely alive integrated with our everyday lives.

Even in the modern-days, there is a continued stream of tension between both genders. Women tend to be in lower class positions or less paying jobs, be less well represented in politics and the upper levels of business, and bear the brunt of domestic violence. Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Though some people may see it as women being hard-headed beings who want to diminish the whole male race as a whole, it’s really just women who aren’t scared to use their voices for themselves. We have grown up in a society where girls are the eye candy and the boys do all the heavy lifting. We have let these practices settle in our minds as the normal standard

This gender inequality is shown throughout the novel. The most baffling example of gender inequality would be when Laila goes into labor, but she cannot go to the hospital because there was an “announcement in January of that year” saying that “men and women would be seen in different hospitals” and “all female staff would be discharged from Kabul’s hospitals and sent to work in one central facility” (Hosseini 254). All the women have to go to one hospital that has “no oxygen, no medications, and no electricity”, while the men get more than one hospital all to themselves with state of the art facilities to tend to their medical needs. It is ironic, because men love their mothers so much and their mothers are women and women are the ones who give them life, but they are the very ones that treat them like dirt or like their lesser than a male dog. Another example of gender inequality would be when Laila went into labor for the first time and Rasheed is “anxious and overly attentive, and was holding her elbow, directing her across the yard”, but as they were coming home “Mariam saw Rasheed enter the yard first.

Women need to be looked to differently; they have found, over the years, ways to get past the obstacles of inequality, and strengthen and support themselves through the very adversity that would have kept them weak. It is therefore not just a matter of gender equality but rather something that can be learned from the gender differences.

As movements such as feminism have been advancing throughout the last century or so, people are led to question what exactly defines the sexes, and the result of that line of thinking is surprisingly detailed gender roles, and, all too often, oppression of both sexes in different ways. It is all too easy to see the impact of these defining roles on women (take into consideration the wage gap, endless marketing of products to increase the sex appeal of women, and sexist phrases such as “hits like a girl”), but it is not terribly difficult to see different expectations forced on men (less involvement in the home, the stereotypical male superhero physique, degrading remarks like “be a man”). Both men and women

Susan B Anthony once said, “Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less." For decades now, our society has been dealing with gender inequality. Most men wouldn’t care about this issue because their lives aren’t being impacted by this. Women have been, and are still facing discrimination against their gender. The inequality negatively influences a woman’s life at home, school, and at work. It also limits the things that they are capable of doing and it violates their human rights. Compared to how it was back then, there has been a great amount of change in our society, but men are still preferred over women in most situations.

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

Men and Women's lives are controlled by the double standards all around them. Every gender is told how to feel and how not to feel, how to act and how not to act rather than just acting and feeling as they want to. The lives of human beings are plagued by these awful societal rules that are all meaningless. Despite the progress made in equality for men and women, double standards create inequality for both genders.

From biblical times, creation began with man. When God created the world and all the things in it, and he thought it was good. But as man walked the earth, God said man should not be alone, and created woman. Since this time where woman has become second to man—almost a spare part, man has ingrained into society that a woman is an accessory and throughout the centuries and millennia the world has evolved and cultures have arisen, it has become the social norm to push a perfect creation that is woman out of the view of importance and discriminate against her. Women throughout different said cultures were stripped of their freedom, youth, and had no right to choose their futures. Even now in some countries, women

Throughout the semester we have discussed many different types of oppressions and the one type that I was able to connect with the most was gender inequality. In class we talked mostly about how women and men are “supposed” to act in society, their stereotypical roles, and the differences on how each sex is portrayed in the media. As a female, I would love to consider myself equal to men but unfortunately because of society this is not the case. I picked this topic because it truly bothers me that men are considered superior to women and the fact that men and women are held to different standards. Both men and women are human beings and in my opinion, we should all be considered equal.

In today’s day and age, you find countless situations where you can see that gender inequality is not just a problem, it is an abomination to the human race. Gender inequality refers to the unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender; it arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles. Gender inequality exists because society has put women into different roles and/or stereotypes that when a female does the opposite it seems wrong or socially incorrect. Inequality amongst the female gender is taken back to when America first began, when it was men who founded this country. Many people think it is caused because God created man before the woman. However, the fact of the matter is that inequality exists because

Advertisements in today’s beauty and style magazines typically portray women in a negative manner. It has become rare to open a women’s magazine and see a women featured in an empowering advertisement or one that might boost women’s self-esteem. Instead, we see women portrayed as sexual objects, or the supermom if you will, generally put beneath men. For example, during the mad-man era many advertisements were released portraying women as nothing but good for cooking,cleaning, or ironing clothes. Advertisements such as these not only create a negative image but give young girls a certain impression that if you look like this you’ll be noticed and appreciated for your beauty and body and not for what you stand for or believe

Since the beginning of time, men and women have been categorized differently and given their own set of expectations and constraints. Still to this day, the differences among genders are labeled throughout society, and especially for women, this creates a drawback in the hope for equality. There has been increasing improvements in the last 100 years for men and women to gain identical rights and treatment, although this does not mean things are perfect in the least bit. Women have been given an identity and when they step away from the norm, negative reactions make it apparent of how society feels women ought to conduct themselves.
