You see in the world today that many people have jobs that have to do with some type of gender stereotype. For example a maid is always a women while a construction worker is ussaly a man. Another example would be when my mom was a nurse she said almost everybody in that feild with her was a woman. This shows that not all stereotypes are are always true but most of them have some truth to them because when we see that only men or women do this we ussaly go along with it which just makes the stereotype true. We are now in in the proccess of seeing more women in the working community but there are still more women who stay home to watch there kids grow up and take care of the house and clean and cook than are men. It also seems like mom's like to endorse the roll of being nuturing while dad's like there role of being the tougher ones in the family's to please.

Another thing that stereotypes separate is the world of sports and most of our hobbies. Stereotypes say that men and boys don't dance and women and girls don't play football. There are more activites that boys can inroll in and in our 4 major sports people watch men play but not all that many people watch women play. This is not to say the female community hasn't come along way in sports because when my mom was a kid they couldn't even play any organized sports, not even soccor which now is almost a half and half sport. The only thing she could really do was horseback riding. Though now girls have separate rules that fall into stereotypes like girls can't get hit like in hockey where in the womens leagues there not even allowed to hit each other just to get the puck loose. Then a sport like football no girls are even really allowed to play. Even coaches say things like fore example you throw like a girl. The question is why hasn't anyone stood up against things like this? Do we like our role in society? Do we not do things because we don't like them or do we not do them because thats how we were raisedand because of peer presure? Are stereotypes the real thing or are streotypes stereotypes within itself? What do you think?
