REPRESENTATION- GENDER

Women used to not get the same rights as men. They would be seen as weak and unable to do things for themselves. Women were really powerless against men, especially in marriage. when divorced men benefited to the fact that they could keep their ex wife's property.Only then in August 20th 1920, women was finally allowed to vote and have a say in things. Later on in 1940 was the women's rights. Women who joined the army did not get permanent status, however President Truman signed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act in 1948 which meant that women was able to get the same rights on the field as men. Now in the 21st century women is able to get the same rights as men.Women has also acceded to be the mayor or the president of a city. This has shown that women has come from a long way as they did not get equally paid as the men even though they have done the same work.

Here is a video of how women are at disadvantage due to gender inequality.

Girls and boys are now following the stereotypical view of the fact that girls wear pink and boys wear blue. At a young age children are learning the stereotypical of ways of image.

From this video we can tell that the children are fed information from the media. That this is how men and women should look like. Women with dresses and men with muscle, the stereotypical way of life. and this shows that the children will grow up this exception of this how you should be. 

In another experiment it shows a man wants to see how it is to be a woman. The women he turns out to be the stereotypical women that wears a dress and goes clubbing. And towards the end she is that women take a long time in the toilet but that is just a stereotype.  

From these experiments we know how stereotypical view men and women are shown an d how effective it is to the society, especially young children who will grow up and be the stereotypical men and women. We can also tell that everything is due to society and their view of things, children will follow the society's view only to be in society and not be an outsider of society.
