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.

Gender stereotype---Women are supposed to be a full-time housewife?

                 There are a housewife and her husband in this picture.But they are doing different work now,the man is watching TV and drinking beer,really relax.On the contrary,the women is doing housework,however, she is ironing a shirt. Unfortunately, the cloths singed,her husband found that and said "very smart" dismissively.That shirt is his wife's favorite shirt,but he laughed at her fingers are all thumbs.This is a stereotype,women not always good at doing housework,and man can help them.No stipulation said that  the person do housework must be a woman. Husband and wife can totally share the housework.That would be nice to a family and no stereotype any more.

GENDER STEREOTYPES: Child’s interest should not be determined by gender




          This is a very interesting presented between the boy and girl. They both hold the baby reader in their hands. But the unusual situation is the little girl is giving the boy a construction and the little boy is giving her a baking books. Kids love to give their favorite things to their friends as a gift. Boys always love cars,fighting, war and forth.However,girls love dolls,jewelries, snacks and so on. Maybe you’ll think that there was the same thing happened in your childhood.Boys and girls have different interests ever since they were born.This stereotype exists since we were kids. Nowadays,we should build up more interests for our children.Girls can develop interests in construction,boys can develop interests in baking.These interests also can influent their future development directions.In conclusion, we should bring up children in an all-round development, not confine to the gender stereotype.
