#4 Gender Roles


People say that gender roles are diffrent today because we have become less descriminative about women in our society. i think that is an obsered statement. theres a part in society that people say that men are always better than women. I read an article in seventeen magazine about how a girl was held at gunpoint by a cop because she was a women and he was going to rape her. at the end of the article it showed ways to prevent bad things happening to girls at night. men never have to deal with the fear of someone stalking them on the way to their car or getting raped on their way to get fire wood for their family like the women in darfur have to deal with. these criminals feed on the fear that women have of being alone or being scared something is going to happen. i hope that one day gender roles of men and women could be equal.
