     In a article written by Shannon Ruane on April 4, 2013 called "Civic Issues" Explaining some of the effects of Female Gender Roles in Society. She briefly touched upon some female roles in her previous post but she did not give a lot of direct social effects that women have.

     Looking back in history it's easy to see what has and has not changed from 100's of years ago, to today's standings. As a science major she looks at the science side, being that women in society stem from their functions of giving birth, raise the kids, taking care of the house chores, while the men would be out killing, hunting, the more of a aggressive worker. All of this started since the earliest of society, few societies were matriarchal opposed to patriarchal because men were typically the stronger more aggressive of the two individuals.

     Society has taken bigger steps into equalizing male and female roles, jobs, and any other difference that would make either gender looked at differently. Women are suppose to stay home and take care of the house and cook. Obviously these roles stem from the very first role of females in nature as loving, and caring gender, where men were looked at as the one who supplies food from hunting, and out traveling, trading, etc.

     An idea of women should stay home, able's us to apply what job and education women have. Men went out and received a more typical education (math, English, history) girls, if sent to school where sent to finish learning sewing, etiquette, and maybe a little arithmetic to help house hold matters. Women stayed home to read, learned to write, while men took their education they earned and made a job out of it to supply either themselves or their family.

     Still into today society women are portrayed as the helpless damsel in distress, look at movies and books. From Snow White to Sleep Beauty, famous females are figures of someone who needs to be saved in the end. As children girls get dolls, while boys get video games, "strong" action figures, tool sets, women are valued by their looks and appearance. All of these things may seem small and insignificant but the small things can add up and effects they have on society are pretty obvious.

     Adding all of this up is depends on how you are raised, you could be a female playing with "strong" action figures instead of dolls, but seeing how people act in society shows how they were raised and women are still looked upon as the weaker role and are here for their beauty in looks, I still don't think that's all its about, but reading this is what comes to me and I do not see the difference as a trained female killing a wolf, over a trained male killing a wolf.
