    Although set in the 70s, The Mary Tyler Moore Show is one of the few timeless programs that remains relatable today. As an extremely likeable character, Mary embodies an innocence along with wholesome humor and her experiences are not too out of line with the average career woman today. While modern viewers of the show would perceive Mary’s life as normal, the experiences of a single independent career woman were anything but normal in 70s society; in fact, Mary Tyler Moore was regarded a television revolutionary. The Mary Tyler Moore Show set a precedent for empowering women and incrementally redefining the mold of what an average woman’s life should look like. The show became a hit due to its confrontation of taboo topics and support for…

    Your response is great, but there are some statements that I would like to questioned. If a woman choses to portray herself in public, shouldn't she learned how to present herself respectfully for herself and love ones? Also, I believed that there are some women who count on their husbands' abilities in order to survive due to their own lack of abilities to work in today societies. Based on the comparison between the early 1900s and modern days, there was a significant shift in females' role after realizing what they were identified as. Though the majority of the women are now independence and embrace themselves in activities they enjoy, I noticed that some of the females still depend on their male partner to make the most of living.…

    Before 1914, there were few opportunities for women to work outside of their houses. Men consider them as emotional and fragile beings so that they should not work outside. However, due to the fact that a lot of men went to the battlefields and there were no enough people working in factories to produce goods and supplies, women began to have more chances working in factories and other areas. In Canada, women worked as police, engineers, bank clerks and so on. Overseas, women served in the military as nurses and ambulance drivers.…

    Social roles can affect gender differences in behavior in various ways. Research has been done on the social role theory, which suggests that people might question women when they are perceived as authority figures, such as leaders, for example. As a result of this, women are not seen as assertive, dominant or in power, like men are. Additionally, the old-school notion that women should be at home cleaning and cooking, instead of having a career, affects all women. It's simple: society has implanted the idea that men are aggressive and assertive, meanwhile, women, are loving and submissive.…

    Then there are some men that look down on women and think that they could not possibly talk about anything that is not housework related. Not all men and women are the same though there are some women that actually enjoy doing house work, as well as there are some man that stay home and not only cook but take care of the children. So the stereotypes where a woman cannot do a man’s job are diminishing. Everyone should be treated equally and given a chance to do what they want, as long as it is legal and moral, of course. After reading the play “A Doll’s house” and “Trifles” it kind of makes one wonder how the ladies and gentleman from then would react to society today…

    Modern Day Gender Roles

    Many have suggested that modern day gender roles have become the norm during the Napoleonic Wars where men and women began to occupy different spheres; men were expected to provide and protect while women were expected to provide nurture and support (Manson). That sort of belief carried over and integrated itself into American customs and traditions. From the foundations of our great nation, our society has been a patriarchal society. For example, in the Declaration of Independence, only people with land could vote. Meaning only white men were allowed to vote, since women were considered property.…

    The Real Housewives: Postfeminist Symbol or Patriarchal Stereotype? Over the past decade, representations of women on television have evolved dramatically. Roles for women are no longer limited to the secretary or office assistant, the stay-at-home housewife, or the damsel in distress waiting to be saved by the manly hero. Women are now represented in both film and television as complex, multi-faceted characters who exist independently of their romantic relationships and home lives.…

    My main question is about the gender roles set for women and men during this time period. Women have always been the gender discriminated against throughout history, even today, but it was especially terrible back then. Why should a woman have to pay money to her husband on their day?

    I agree, women were more financially dependent on their husband back then therefore, would have remained married. Additionally, women who did work outside the home weren’t paid as well, so they would have still been dependent. I grew up during a time when most American families were still traditional in structure. Back then, I believe that it was less common for a married woman with children to seek employment since their spouse usually made more than enough money to provide. Furthermore, divorce was frowned upon in the past because religious beliefs were stronger than they are today.…
