GENDER WOMEN VS MEN

1) I believe that nurture gives us a lot of our gender traits. There are certain traits that we our born with as children. There are estrogen and testosterone in the eggs that help us develop into our sex. On the other hand, there are also traits that our parents instill in us after we our born. After we our born there are many things that help nurture us into our sex. Parents will buy little girls dolls and little boys cars to play with. There are many dolls out there for girls but not that many for boys. This chapter talks about how girls have to These dolls that we give little girls help them to become a mother and treat them nurturing skills. The cars we give little boys help them to become more masculine than girls. This chapter talks about the books that we give children to learn how to read. I did a research paper on how children books imply certain gender traits. Young children will read these books and use them as a representation of how the real world works.  The woman in the books will usual be a stay at home mom and be doing household work. The men in the books will be fixing things around the house and playing outdoors. Also, there are a lot of gender specific jobs in these books. Most of the time one will see the teacher being a woman and the doctor being a man.These are just a few example of how we nurture our children into their genders.

3) There has to be a lot of change in the world in order to reduce gender inequality. We first have to start with our children. We need to let them explore different things. Most little boys will want to play with their sister’s dolls but will not be allowed to by his parents. We need to create a gender equal environment for young children. Parents can look at the things their children are watching and reading to make sure they are being exposed to gender equality. A lot of the things around us in the media are very sexist. When I have children one day I don’t want them to just be limited to gender stereotype occupations. Why is social correct to be a male doctor but not a male nurse? When in reality men nurses would be better than woman because they are able to lift heavier patients. Woman as a hole is going to have to stand up for their rights. Men have the option to choose what they are going to do in the household. Regardless, if woman have a full schedule they still have to make sure their families have dinner at night. Women are also going to have to start demanding equal pay as men. It isn’t right to be doing the exact same job as a male and be getting paid less. Men like being superior over woman. It is going to have to take woman to change the gender inequality in the world.
