In America, men and women appear to be equals, by having equal rights and equal opportunities. However, that is only how it appears to be. In reality, society has issued roles for each gender to feel obligated to strive towards or away from. It is difficult to be a woman in society, culture and religious beliefs have greatly influenced the roles that are expected from women by passing down the stereotypes and discrimination from generation to generation. Why does society insist that women are inferior to men?…

Being the oldest form of discrimination, the utilization of gender roles has enabled power structures to stay in place and to take on other means of stereotyping in order to create hierarchical systems. Taking a look at gender schema, or the theory of gender based on culture, in which children are taught to act either more feminine or masculine in order to fit in sex-appropriate norms. As Bem (1983) points out, gender schema theory considers this a “learned phenomenon,” denoting that the education of one’s community further reinforces the self-learning of its members (p. 603). Along with that, racial identity further categorizes us.…

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).…

Unlike number ten from All Diva Media’s ‘Top 10 Feminist Stereotypes’, I am not a man hater – in fact, I was the only girl allowed to play with the boys as I was related to their ‘leader’. When I was little, my cousin, who was a grade older than me, was sort of like the leader of the few boys we had our split class. I never realized that I was being treated differently from all the other girls in my class. My classmates seemed to simply accepted the fact that I was the only girl allowed to play with the boys – and it did not occur to me that I was the only one given that I played with the girls as well. However, one year (I think it was grade three) a new girl came to our class…
Contrary to past traditions, the upbringing of males with feminine traits has developed into a rising custom. Similar to feminist’s movement toward independence from men, parents now want to raise their sons free from dependency on women. However, instilling feminine behaviorisms in sons goes against society’s norm. As Gloria Steinem correctly identifies, parents must have courage in order to raise a son with feminine characteristics, as a result of society’s stereotypes and set gender views. The idea of males displaying feminine traits challenges society’s idea of a “manly man”.…
