Gender Roles

Gender Roles

Gender roles are, based on your gender how should you react or where you should work. Nowadays is much more ordinary for women to work instead of being at home, but still is much more common to still see men working since it was always that way. Society always meant for men to work, get the bigger amount of money, pay for the bills, etc... meanwhile women were to be at home, cleaning the house and taking care of the babies. Now we're in 2016, a lot of women overcame that and started working on what they wished to.

Gender roles are not only based on jobs, but how we should react based on the sexes. For example when it appears a spider or anything scary, men are the ones supposed to be brave and kill or scare the animal, and girls in the other hand, are supposed to wait to be "saved". Just like a princess should wait for their charming prince to save her, or that men shouldn't cry. Lots of women and men overcame the idea of gender roles, but still there is a lot of work to be done. In a lot of countries or religions girls are still supposed to be the ones to take care of the babies . Also, we still see jobs considered only for males, like the physical stuff, builders and etc, we should change this.
