From the beginning of time, man has ruled the world; he has led in a captive heroism cape, trotting around as the supreme gender. Men are brought up superior to women, therefore they lead: countries, nations, and even women. The ideology of these superiorities amongst the gender roles, are created by men. Gender roles around the world have many differences, yet they coincide with similar issues. Progress in the equality of gender is a long road ahead, however there is progress in places all around the world, including Canada.
