The government tries to make citizens believe that the country they live in is equal no matter what religion, color, or race. No matter how many laws are passed or however many protests are given, there will never be complete equality between genders. Every gender has a role and these roles have been cultural since thousands of years ago.
A woman will always be looked at as a precious, fragile ,and emotional. Of course this is a stereotype but the media has shaped women into looking like this. A woman is expected to watch the children and keep the house tidy. The woman is expected to cook and clean. Back then, most women were stay at ho!e moms but this has recently changed. Many women are employed and in some houses pay most of the bills.
Men are expected to be strong, masculine, touch and rough. It is mostly looked down upon if a man has more feelings than he should. Society would label him as a homosexual even though he might not be one. Men are expected to do most of the repairs at home which can include fixing the television or fixing a broken pipe or plunging a toilet or fixing a cabinet. Men are taught to not care and play with cars and masculine toys from the day they are born. They are taught to like a specific color and treated better and different than girl babies. Most families prefer to have male babies to pass down the family name and are quite disappointed when the offspring is a female.
Angel you have written your post extremely well. I liked the way you defined the roles of a women and a man. The way you started your post was great because you gave the government’s view on it also. The example that you gave about how families like to have a baby boy so the families name would be passed down was an amazing example. Wonderful job Angel. Keep on Writing!!
ReplyDeleteAngel, your introduction was exceptional. Although, it was short, it was prominent. Your second and third paragraph had some minor grammatical errors, but your point was easily understood. Your explanation of the female and male roles were acceptable. And you are right about some families being quite disappointed when their offspring is a female, because my dad and grandpa were slightly upset when my mother had me, as they wished for a boy, but they grew rather fond of me.
