Gender Stereotypes

Introduction

This film discusses gender stereotypes. What is gender stereotype? In brief,

people usually have a first impression that thinks boys and girls must express

themselves that fit in with their gender. That is gender stereotype. Gender

stereotypes can always be discovered in our life. I will discuss details of gender

stereotypes in the following essay.

Discuss and Response

The film maker points out many common gender stereotypes. I choose three

examples from the film to express my thoughts and opinions.

First example is what men and women will do when they come home. For men,

they always do what they want to do. Instead, women have to do housework. I

think there some reasons why lead to the phenomenon. We have been conveyed a

notion that men are breadwinners and women are housekeepers. Therefore, men

work hard and when they come home, they are tired and want to relax. At this time

women have to do other things for men. As time goes by, women also become

breadwinners. I think no matter what things are, men and women have to

communicate and finish things together. Second example is the reflection of men

and women after they watch a romantic movie. Men sleep but women cry. This

shows that men are sensible and women are sentimental. I think and agree this is

the greatest difference between men and women. Men seem to be calm and

self-control and women are easy to be touched despite that is a small thing. Last

example is men and women’s ideal partner. It’s interesting that their ideal

partner is the same. This reveals that whether men or women, they want to be

equal and don’t make gender to restrict them.

Except these examples, there are still many stereotypes in our life. In ordinary

impressions, men are brave, independent, and active. Women are obedient, quiet,

and independent. Parents always have great expectation to their sons and think

girls don’t have to learn more. Actually, it’s not fair. Everyone has rights to do

what they want to do. No one should be deprived of rights. In recently years, more

and more women have the achievement in their work. This is a good thing. It

proves women have the same ability to do those things that people think only

men can do in the past.

Conclusion

Gender stereotypes have been around us. People have some gender

stereotypes more or less. Maybe it’s difficult to change gender stereotypes in

short time. However, we should not be confined because of gender. Except the

difference in physiology, men and women have the same abilities actually. Men

and women should learn to respect and tolerate each other.
