Gender Roles

I think gender roles play a big part in our society. Women and men are categorized into certain areas that they are supposed to succeed in and be good at. Women are supposed to cook and clean and be the 'weak' ones who need men and the men are supposed to be the strong tough guys. I think it is unfair to put every male and every female into a certain stereotype because every person is an individual.

I agree with you. Gender roles play a huge part in our society. Men are supposed to be stonger than women. I do think it is unfair. These norms were created in the past and should be changed now. Today men and women are equal and women are just as powerful as men.

I agree!! These stereotypes have been around forever, and they should've changed by now. But our society keeps enforcing them, and until that changes, the stereotypes won't change.
