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.

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.

WOMEN: Oscars 2012


Are women trying too hard to be seen as "sexy" these days? A few days ago at the Oscars 2012,
Angelina Jolie was seen constantly adjusting her dress just to show off her right leg, starting from her thigh. 
I feel that lately, women have been pressured to be seen as a sexy. I'm pretty sure that most celebrities would not dress like this or get dolled up when there are no photographers around. I think that women have gone too far trying to please the media by showing off and trying to increase their sex appeal to the public.
