Gender Roles

Throughout the past few decades, the gender roles between men and women have changed greatly. Women are more accepted to work and aren't expected to all do the same things such as stay home all day cooking and cleaning while caring for children. Even though the daily role of women has changed. Still girls seem to be more appreciated for their looks, where boys are more appreciated for their accomplishments. Also, if a mother is the worker and the father stays home taking care of the children, this is how the children will view gender roles vice versa.
I think that women are still have a little less power than men do even though they have come so far in being equal with men there are a lot of people that think men are more powerful and important than men. This may be since women are the ones who give birth, they are more expected to care for the child than men since the child needs a mother more than a father at a young age. However, as children grow older they really do need both a mother and a father figure in their lives. Really, men and women are very equal in this country compared to others.
