Last week in my Sociology class we started Gender Inequality chapter. In this chapter we have talked about the different gender roles in society. Everyone is sacumed to gender roles in there life at some point. Male or Female we all have certain patterns and mundane behavior. Mundane behavior includes ways of style of dress and greeting behaviors. Even how hard females try not to be emotional or have a certain femininity they will always have certain instincts about certain things. These Gender roles are learned through the socialization progress and social institutions such as Family, media, and peers.
Media factors in more and more every year. One may grow up in a house where dad is the main caregiver but through media kids will figure out that the women is marked up to be the caregivers while men are suppose to bring home the bacon. No one can reverse gender roles premaritally. Gender Roles will always be out there and categorizing everyone.
I agree , i feel women and men have different roles and mundane behavior. As women and men we do things differently and have a different reaction to situations. We dress different and in certain cultures how you speak and greet people are also different. I also feel gender roles in society is changing now. Even though men are seen as the bread winners and man of the house you also have to think about single mothers. To their children their the head of the household, the bread winners, and the caregiver all in one.
