    Many of the problems now and in time have been the product of someone stereotyping someone else for being “different” than they are. It can be based off the pigmentation of one’s skin, the religious differences between people, but more often than not, it is because of the class a person falls into economically. Class is a system that distinguishes people by the amount of money a person makes, or that is what class is supposed to be. We often see the upper-class portrayed as educated, clean, and powerful people as opposed to the lower-class who are seen as dirty, lazy, and powerless individuals. The way the media stereotypes the economic classes makes a class seem like a culture instead of an economic standing. In many cases, us individuals allow those stereotypes to become who we are.…

    One of the biggest problems today’s society has is change. Society fears the oncoming storm of liberal ideas as well as the ever changing mass of people who aren’t afraid to speak up about topics like “gender”, which is arguably as broad and debatable as they come. The amount of people educated in this topic, however, is not so extensive. Many people only have knowledge of what a man and woman should be based on their society’s rules. Others understand and accept that “gender only exists as a comparative quality” and choose to not divide “certain types of behaviors … as masculine or feminine” (Scantlebury). The problem of gender stereotyping and normalization has become more recognized over the…

    As a feminist we envision a perfect world where being a single mom is okay even a single dad, where there is no such thing as a wage gap, where we see no domestic violence and if so, help available with measures to prevent, not only treat, and a world where women suffering from any disease can have choice and control over their body. These issues come up in Walking on Water and mostly get resolved and with help and support from their group things get better for each woman involved. This is not always the success story we hope for although support groups are a way to help. A challenge of making support groups for all women not just feminists but being able to share the feminist vision of empowerment, equal pay, and intersectionality in a way…

    Gender stereotypes simply refer to the generalizations on characteristics of gender, their differences, and roles of different genders as individuals or as groups. Although stereotypes can either be positive or negative, they can rarely be accredited as credible sources of information about others. Gender stereotyping occurs when people automatically assume things about other without having evidence on the same. Traditionally, stereotypes on women depict their role marriage and rearing of children. Women are also supposed to put their families’ first before themselves, loving them, caring for them, nurturing them and at the same time they are supposed to look and feel beautiful.
