Housewives

Why is it that the stereotype of woman always being the housewives exist?
It seems a bit degrading that women are/were apparently not supposed to do anything 
else except take care of the children and do all the housework all day, everyday. They were
not even allowed to go out and fulfill their dreams and that's probably why there used to be a
lot of feminist groups out there that would be against all of this. It would sound wrong if a woman 
said that she wanted to go out and work or to be a pilot. I mean, there are a lot of successful woman 
out there living their dreams and what not and that's the way it should have been ages ago. Although
this stereotype is not as common as it used to be, it probably still exists today.

Fake

Why is it that women/girls are always or most of the time bashed on for wearing too much makeup and
called a "cake face" and fake? But when they don't wear makeup they are called ugly and unattractive?
Today's society is so judgmental and nothing will ever please anyone to the fullest. It's ridiculous. Why say 
someone is fake for wearing makeup when you're just going to ridicule someone for not wearing makeup 
later on? Everyone should have their own choice to do as they please without feeling judged.

Women and Cars

We've all heard of the stereotype that women can't drive. But if we go into
more depth in this stereotype, we know the stereotype that Asian women in particular
cannot drive or do not drive as well as other people. I believe that most stereotypes only look
and seem true because that is how we are now used to seeing things. We see Asian students as smarter 
and then that just makes Asian students live up to that stereotype because that is apparently what is 
expected. Same with driving, we keep saying that Asian women are the worst at driving and somehow
that has gotten into all the mental thoughts and the minds of Asian women today.

Movies


It is said that women and men do things for different reasons and one example would be 
when a female watches a movie and when a male watches one. For example, let's talk about the
movie that just came out, The Avengers. Men are probably watching this movie just because their
favorite child hood super hero is in the movie or because they used to read the comics back in the day. 
But sometimes, we females think differently, we think that they are only watching the movie because one
of the actresses are "hot" or appealing to their eyes. For example, in The Avengers, Scarlett Johansson stars
as one of the female heroine's. We all know she has sexual appeal. I guess we girls should stop thinking that guys are only watching these movies because of the attractive female actresses and we should just know that they're just watching the movie because they actually want to see the movie because it seems entertaining.

Effort

Is it true that women put more effort into the relationship than men? Or vice versa?
This is a frequently asked question, apparently. I guess it really depends on what we
are comparing both genders to and the actual situation. On my defense, I think that women 
do put more effort into looking good for her man. And in my opinion I think that men put more
effort into actually making their significant other happy. (Depends, but in most cases that I've seen)
I honestly think that both women and men have an equal part in putting in effort whether it's by 
looking nice or actually keeping the relationship together.

Rape and Abuse

Why is it that we hear more about women abuse and rape?
Is it because people automatically think that women are vulnerable? 
It probably is, the stereotype that women seem to be weaker than men makes
women look so fragile and powerless. This image and thought is wrong, this is the
kind of stereotype that makes this world even worse than it already is. If it were not
for this stereotype of women, MAYBE just maybe there would be less
of these terrible crimes of rape and abuse. Just because of the saying, "man of the house" 
and how the male gender tends to be powerful. Our society really should think before we decide to
come up with these stupid "rules" of how things should ALWAYS be.

Degrading Women

Believe it or not most women are always being degraded by others most of the time. Especially in politics and what not. You barely see any women in the office besides the first lady and some of the other female political figures. Why can't people take women seriously? Some women are actually strong as men mentally and physically also emotionally. This is also a type of discrimination towards women. Why is it that people always say men can do this or that better while women are only good at housework and such. It makes no sense. People are all different whether they are female or male it doesn't matter. We are all individuals and all have different types of skills some better than others. We should not just degrade ONLY women or anyone at all. It's just ridiculous that we say that we are all made equal and treated equally when clearly we are not.
