Gender roles and stereotypes

1- I completely agree and I rescued the concept that  our gender is only part of who we are. because all people are different, have different interests and motivations can not be generalized to a standard of behavior.

2-Women are not as strong as men(with this refers to the muscular force that has the man due to greater muscle development) Women are responsible for raising children ( is associated with the protective role of women that begins in the gestation period) , men are lazy and / or messy (believed that man unlike women should not worry about your image and grooming, nor do house cleaning) and  men do more activities that require mental prowess ( mistakenly thought that men are rational and women emotional)


3- Female Gender Stereotypes 


 a. women are nurses, not doctors

Nothing more wrong than this, since now many women working as doctors successfully there.  For example my aunt is an excellent doctor.

b. women love to sing and dance

This is a stereotype that has been well established in collective thinking.
I disagree as I sing or dance are expressions of indistinct art genre. singing is not as estereotype as dance. Dance unfortunately remains assigned to the female gender. But there are many more dancers come forward without necessarily being "effeminate" commonly called.

c. Woman do not play video games

There is no argument to support this idea. any person can play video games. if you do not believe me  ask  camila arancibia who just loves this and plays very well.

Male gender stereotypes


a. As husbands, men tell their wives what to do

I disagree, because the key to a good relationship is based on mutual respect for ideas and reach agreements.

b. Men are lazy and/or messy

Be loose or dirty also depends on the person and not the gender.

c. Men do not cook, sew, or do crafts

Nothing wrong, because these are acts of subsistence. there are more men who are dedicated to gastronomy, sewing and especially the crafts.
