Whose Lady Macbeth to tell Macbeth to be more manly? Macbeth is the one killing people and she is the one giving commands. When did a society like this come into the world? Since the world first started it has been the man with the upper hand. The man is the one of takes care of business. “Its the man who is the leader of the family.” “A true man respects his wife and family, but he must get respect back.” An attribute that is stereotypical with men is respect.
There’s a common thought that its normally the women in the family who stay home and take care of the kids, cook the meals, and clean the houses. The man is the one who is supposed to be out in the …show more content…
When other men see this, they see the man as more powerful and think more highly of him. Therefore, the more girls a guy can get with, the more respect he gets as time goes on. Well then its always a constant debate of why can’t women do this. If women get with multiple guys they come across as “easy.” Men then call them “skanks” or “trashy” because no one wants to be with a girl like that. It brings down their human value when they have been with multiple people. It’s always the “more powerful men who get sex.” This is true almost anywhere. Girls look at movie actors or professional athletes and say, “I would get with him.” Truly though the girls don’t even know the guy. They don 't know if he is a good or bad person, or his personality. This is true even in high school. I know most of the girls would rather date the high school quarterback then the lead band …show more content…
“A girl could be perfect for you but if she is taller, no way!” A man is supposed to be the superior one in the relationship and “the one who wears the pants.” “Men have genetically been the stronger ones.” When a man dates a taller girl its embarrassing for him. I really do get where society is coming from. Traditionally it has been the man with more power. I really think this is wrong though. Who cares if someone is taller than you. You should not be with someone based off of their height. You should be with someone because you love them and enjoy their presence. I have never seen a guy in my life dating a girl taller than him though. This is simply because all the guys would lose respect for him, and maybe he would even lose respect for himself. Girls traditionally go after the taller men. “They want to feel protected by a superior half.” Dating someone smaller than them can take this away. I think it’s wrong but this is how society views
