Gender roles

A common theme in society today is the misconception that for women and men to be equal, they need to be the same. In short, the misconception that gender roles need to be destroyed for women to succeed. Gender roles are a vital part in the success of a society and differences in sex are real and should be acknowledged and celebrated rather than looked at as a weakness. Males and females are genetically engineered differently and have strengths and weaknesses parallel to each other. On gendermatters.org, the website’s authors do a great job breaking down the importance of gender roles by explaining the differences between men and women and addressing their differences. It explains that women are genetically built to be mothers and it is well known that children do better with a mother figure and men are genetically built to be fathers and children also do better with a father figure in their lives. While it is important that people live freely and the way that they want to, it is also important to address the importance of gender roles as a natural trait in humans.
