Double Standard Research Paper

Decent Essays
There is a double standard when it comes to sexuality. In a Chinese family, a male has a higher status that a female.

For example, men can work until their late sixties while employers fire women based on their age depending on which industry they work in. Sometimes, I wish that I was born as a male because of the advantages they get when they work plus they get paid more than female. However, there are also many advantages that female have

    The legal rights of Chinese women remain almost nonexistent during the 14th to 17th century Ming Dynasty rule, however, modern day China is controlled by a government working to achieve equality for both genders.

A woman, as opposed to a man, can now be the supporter of the house. A man, as opposed to the woman, can now raise the family and care for the children.…
