CC#3.1

     In a recent article written by Abby Kaplan called "Traditional Gender roles" explains how society has a affect on gender roles such as women in a negative way, saying if you ask people weather women have equal trade in the real world people will say yes. But in reality they get judge and critiqued harder than a man applying for a job would.
   
     In 2007,an average women earned 78 cents compared to a dollar that a man earned in the same position, in a life time earnings that adds up to $700,000 to $2,000,00 less than a man would earn in a lifetime career earnings. A recent study looking at two resumes one a women and one a mans, it shows that the women's resume was judged and graded harder than the mans was, giving the women a lower score this shows that the message is clear that men are still considered superior to women.
   
      General society expects more from men than women, men being the breadwinners of the household and women stay at home taking care of the children and work needed to be in or around the house. Yes women do work business jobs but its still an expectation, women must chose between a career, job, or being called a bad parent for not supporting the family. Men do not have to put up with all the junk people can give them about being a bad father/husband, if they do not work they are told they are neglecting their family.

     Women are looked at as working in different areas than men, childcare, social work, heath aid type jobs, jobs that pay less than "masculine" jobs such as any works from math and science degree. In some countries boys are valued so much more than girls that women will have an abortion if they find out that their child is a girl, The discrimination is more subtle, but still exists.

     My thoughts on the whole men dominate women is just beyond stupidity to me, if women want to be a lumberjack worker why must they be judged, if she works out she could be small but lift more than the biggest guy there. But that's just one of my thoughts on this, I see it as men can do anything women do and a women can do anything a man can do, even if it requires them to do it differently they can still do it.
