gender roles

I think gender roles play a big part in society. Men are supposed to be tough and powerful. Women are supposed to be weaker and less powerful than men. This is not the case today however. In the past men were supposed to make all the money and the women were supposed to be stay at home moms. Today more and more women are having full time jobs. These gender roles are all about past beliefs. I think that we are in a new era where men and women are equal and everyone is an individual.

I think you have a great point. I think we as a whole society have been slowly moving towards a new movement. We're creating an era will jobs and the amount someone makes and general stereotypes are being diminished about gender. With this come those who are at the entire other side of the spectrum. That's usually what happens. When a generally agreed upon topic starts to become slightly progressive and change, people like to oppose and have differing beliefs.
