Male and Female Gender Roles

Over the past little while we have been analyzing the roles that both genders play in todays society. We have noticed that the traditional roles of the two and completely different in that way how one gender has been able to almost dominate society. In todays society to be a man is to be a hero and to know that your the tough guy you think you are. And that women may have the need for men, when really they dont. Women in todays world have come a long way from the days of segregation against women and the women rights movement helped to portray women as real people and a major part of society. Women faught for the right to vote and to be noticed as a person, thats why I dont understand when women go into music videos and do nothing but humiliate themselves at the hands of men. If todays women were not going to respect themselves then what was the point of the entire women rights movenment? It is a very bad sterotype to say that women are not as important as men. Some men still need to realize that it is the 21st century and that we are past the days of objectifying women for a mans personnal needs. But at the same time the women that are still doing these things to set back women as a race, they need to stop all of that and be stronger and stand up and say that they wont do those things anymore because of the way that it objectifies women. They need to think about all that they are throwing away by doing those things.

Now to be a man in today's society isnt really any different because of the pressure that males have to be a fighter and an aggresser in life. All males are told whne growing up is to be stong and tough and to not let anyboby push you around. And that is somewhat true but for some males that is no the way they want to live there life. Most males who are put into these types of violent situations dont want to be there in the first place. But when the pressure is on them they do not turn down because of what they will be called if they dont fight. And no man wants to be called a faggot, pussy, wimp or any other name to make them feel inferior and feel they must fight to be the bigger man. When it turn being a bigger man would be to just walk away and not let those thigns get to you and to really just be yourself.
