In today's society people always have thoughts and opinions on how specific genders are supposed to act, feel and live. Sense this blog is about how the stereotypical man and woman are supposed to act it does not reflect my personal views. The American dream is supposed to be consisted of one woman, one man, 2.2 kids, a golden retriever and a white picket fence. More and more people are straying from this so called "dream" because the role of a man and woman change. Women in todays society have numerous roles. Some can be staying home with the children, working as the main bread winner, being a good wife, a good mother, going to college, getting a good job. All of those things are what I believe are expected of the modern woman. Some people who have a little more sexist views might say woman are meant to be seen not heard, working in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant, some might even think they would be dependent on men. I believe the expectation for a man has not changed drastically. Stereotypically a man should have a wife and children. But not all men do. Some men are homosexual and live a perfectly normal and happy life with their partner and still do the same things. Men are expected to be "providers," they have to bring home the bacon or make more than the woman or else their capabilities have no meaning. In 2012 women are perceived as strong and independent. Women are having children later and later because they are focusing on making a career for themselves. Men in today's world are perceived as high status and "important." Some advantages of being a women include the bond between a mother and child, getting oppurtunities that a man might not have. Better bathrooms... where ever you go they are at least 40% better then a mens room! haha!
