Gender in Society

I would have to say that I definitely think that gender roles in society are changing. I think of females being strong yet dependent, beautiful, delicate, and independent. The male role is more dominant, powerful, provider, and strong. The females tend to be more small in stature, while males are larger and more powerful physically (typically). The roles that we play in society are ever evolving. I can remember that for the most part of my childhood my mom stayed at home while my dad was the only source of income that we had. Nowadays most households are two income households. The females tend to be the primary caregivers to the children yet they now have a new responsibility:working. I am lucky because I only work part time. I just don't know how some women can maintain a full time job and a non-chaotic house full of children. Sometimes I wish that I could be a stay at home mom, but on the other hand I think I could end up going stir crazy. Since I worked so hard to enter my career and all that goes with it, working part time is a happy medium for me. I do have a problem with some of the stigma that society currently is imposing on each gender. After watching the Tough Guise video clip ,I have started to look at TV in a new light. Men are typically always portrayed as tough and able to get the upper hand through violence. Women are shown as needing the man to protect her and she is not seen as an equal.
