Gender Stereotypes

             In our modern society, job advertisements post here and there. However, because of the gender stereotype, women can not have their ideal job or they can not get the equality with men. According to this ironic picture, an equal opportunity employer posted a recruitment advertisement. It is about a post of duty, a company gives jobs to people.Although the advertisement said that equal opportunity for both women and men, but it make no sense that the shape on the wall to enter this corporation is a man. A woman with her child pass by that building, she stop and stare at the advertisement, she must wonder why gender inequality problems always happens. As we well known, women have burden to take care of their children, this is a gender stereotype. Societies has responsibility to make certain that this group of women have jobs and enough money to support their family. Man should not always be the leader of in every field.

Gender stereotype leads to gender inequality

          This picture shows that women earn about eighty percent for every dollar earned by a man on average among full-time workers. This is because of a common gender stereotype: Men ought to earn more money than women. We can see many examples in our daily life. For instance, in Hollywood, discrimination of actresses is a pretty common thing. Like one of the most profitable actresses Jennifer Lawrence said, such inequity should be changed. Such wage gap becomes a huge burden to those working class women. Nowadays more and more women start to fit the role as the master of the house. The wage gap can create big financial problems. So many women try to fight against such gender stereotype. They seek justice and fight hard to bring equality to all women.

Gender stereotype

        This picture shows us another way of gender stereotype. In the picture, the man, appears to be a boss, sitting there and enjoying himself. On the other side, the woman is sitting huddled in the corner. She is working hardly in order to finish her job. We can see that the table was cut into two parts. The man holds 3/4 and the woman holds 1/4. This means the status between the man and the woman is significantly different. The crack also shows the inequality and discrimination. In the previous journals I analyzed a gender stereotype about how hard for woman to get a high position in a company. This time the stereotype becomes men are always the bosses and women are always working for men. Such stereotype is definitely wrong. Many women can do better than men, especially in communication and leadership, because women are mostly more patient and charming. 

Gender stereotype of a high position in the company

             

       Gender stereotype can greatly affect woman’s job. From this picture we can see that a man and a woman both want to get a high position in their company. The woman has many burdens on her shoulder. She needs to wash the cloths, cook the meal as well as take care of children. On the other side, the man has nothing to worry about. So he can focus on his way to the “crown”. Such stereotype that woman should head the family becomes a giant obstacle for women on their way to success. Fortunately, these years many women showed that they had ability to finish their job splendidly, sometimes even better than men. This phenomenon effectively promotes the position of women in the family and forces men to take the responsibility of housework, which helps women to better concentrate on their jobs.

Gender stereotype——Are you man enough to be a nurse?

Gender stereotype——Are you man enough to be a nurse? 

              In recent weeks,I already talked about gender stereotype of the roles that wife and husband play in a family and gender stereotype in our childhood.This time, I am going to discuss about gender stereotype in all kinds of professions.Nurse is a good example to demonstrate my opinion. As we well-known, nurse is an important job in our daily life.They heal the wounded and help doctors to take care of patients.It is not important that whether you are a male or a female for this job. When we mention of this profession,naturally think of female nurses. But male nurse actually existed. Although sometimes they suffered discrimination because of gender stereotype,they still conscientious in work.Gender stereotype shouldn’t exist any more. Every health care worker is honorable,no matter what gender they are.

Gender Stereotype----distinguish gender when you was a baby

     
               

           I already talked about this topic——“gender stereotype” for several weeks. Till this week,I find a really interesting caricature.It’s about a pregnant mother doing her antenatal examination.The doctor is doing B ultrasound examination for her, and her husband cares about the baby’s gender.When the screen coming out a image that the baby is reading a shoe sale magazine,the doctor diagnoses she is a girl.This is such a typical caricature of gender stereotype.Although it is unreal, this issue still worth discussing.Women love shoes, a little girl is not a exception.It is common that boys and girls have different interests.We can develop children’s interests when they are babies.Men and women play different roles in the society.There is no deny that what they working on are almost from their interests.And that is the reason why they do well in different fields. From this picture, it shows us the interests start to become different when we just a infant.And gender stereotype of who they are, begin to form at that time.

Gender stereotypes----Girls are bad at math?

            This picture shows us another way of gender stereotype. In the picture, when a guy can't work out the math problem, people only think this guy is not good at math. But when a girl doesn't know how to do a math question, people turns out to laugh at the group of girls. I have observed this stereotype for a long time. When I was in middle school, a lot of top students on math were boys. This did convince many students that boys had some talent on math. But could this phenomenon prove that girls suck at math? I saw many girls were really good at math and sometimes even taught other boys how to do the problems. So my point is that girls and boys have equal talent on math. The only difference is how much effort you put to achieve a better ability.
