self deciding


From the beginning of time women and men have had different roles in society. Why? It is not because they choose to have those but because they up set upon them, they were given expectations. If one wanted to be given those responsibilities they had no choice but to comply with them.
Today is just the same. As medieval and ignorant as it may sound some men still expect women to stay home, clean, cook, and take of the kids. It might come as a surprise to people but women have brains, and brains that function just the same as a man’s would too. Society has labeled the woman as the nurturer and the man as the bread maker. Society not only discriminates against women in this way but also against men. There are women who choose to do a “man’s job” like become an engineer, or a construction worker, or a car body shop owner. However, people seem to forget there are men who may want to occupy a “woman’s job”, like becoming a nurse, a kindergarten teacher, or a florist. If a person in today’s society were top witness these role reversals they would automatically question the person’s sexuality. Today’s society not only labels and stamps women and men, but it has also decided what a heterosexual should be like and what a homosexual should be like.
Society has brain washed every person regardless of what they believe into the same mindset. Now, people are starting to stray from and question these characteristics that society has bestowed upon itself. Gender, sexuality, job occupation, clothing/ attire etc. are all self deciding factors that society should have zero control over.
