Do gender roles afffect your opinions?

Question

such as views on sexuality and expression of this, ways of dressing, how you think critically.

Answer 1

it does definitely. i think no matter how people try to defend that they're neutral about it, they will never be able to completely detach their selves from it. it's always been in the society weaved. like, for example whenever there is an affair outside the marriage on both parties, the society would favor the man most and condemn the woman because supposedly it is a crime for women to do that and on the other hand quite normal among men and therefor more justifiable. even women think of this issue like this.

Answer 2

They sure do. I am not an American, and in my native country gender roles are very different than in the USA, and so I find that my idea of normal gender roles affects my impression about the life in the USA greatly. I know that it's just a result of looking from my own foreign point of view, but the question which I ask myself almost every day is "How do americans manage to reproduce?!" because from my point of view men and women don't act like men and women should :) No offense meant, just cultural differences in gender roles.

Good question!

Answer 3

Absolutely. Men are expected to be the primary breadwinners, and US economic reality is interfering with that expectation - we are a nation in decline, and we cannot do the same things that our forefathers did - therefore we feel like failures as men, sons, fathers, etc.

Affects dress and hairstyle differently.

Gender is so powerful that attempts to redefine manhood and womanhood have often been met with violent resistance, persecution.

Critical thinking - there is a lot of debate on that one. The stereotype is "rational" man, "emotional" female; but only archaic cretins believe in that anymore (like Rush Limbaugh) - and, sadly, there are a lot of archaic cretins still
