Hillary Clinton: Gender Stereotypes

Improved Essays
You can’t look at America as a single person or body, it is a heterogeneous mixture of people, ethnicities, wealth, and backgrounds. There isn’t a blue America, and there isn’t a red America, there’s so many different pockets and groups that can influence demographics and elections. So really no one is living in the same country as anyone else, everyone has different lives and experiences that influence their decisions. People who voted for Hillary Clinton saw the world much differently than people who were suffering economically in the Midwest. Backgrounds and experiences couldn’t be more different, and we really saw each candidate play to that group in an incredibly obvious way.

Trump’s speech was an authoritarian message of gloom and despair,

    Often times, people perceive women as weak - it's seen in the fairytales with the dainty damsel in distress, waiting for a man to save her, as seen even in modern takes of stories like Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty. This sort of submissive take on females has been told over and over since the beginning of our history when men hunted and left women to give birth and gather fruits. The weakness of women has been woven into story after story, until we believe it to be a universal truth and allow men to take dominant roles in society. After all, men like Prince Charming are perceived to be stronger for a reason - men generally have more of the hormone testosterone, which increases muscle mass and makes them look stronger. Women tend to develop more estrogen than testosterone, and naturally less muscle mass than men while being more emotionally vulnerable due to menstrual periods (they are also more prone to depression than males).…
