A major feature of the social status of men and womean is the dominance of men in almost every aspect of modern life. This culturaly-established male dominance can be explained in many ways and from a variety of perspectives. An evolutionary approach might suggest that the gender roles have evolved over a long period of time in a way that naturally selected men and woman into the roles and social statuses they hold today. Education played a role in these social statuses because the men were thought to be well educated and more knowledgable then the woman during the early years of education. Over the last few hundred years people have made it clear that woman have “come a long way” in establishing their basic worth and value in society. Child rearing was important in an evolutinary sense because it helped the women fight for their social title,standing among men, and above all a sense of accomplishment. There is much work to bridge the gender divide, however, real and lasting change requires the thoughtful work of the dominant group. In this case, it means that the responsibility for creating lasting change in society today is the work of both men and women in our society. Women and men are not equal when it comes to certain things. Physically, men are stronger and larger. Women demand to be equal and refuse to take no for an answer when it comes to something they want to do. However, as soon as there is a physical barrier, they claim they are incapable because of their sex.Physical training for women entering the army or a fire department is easier for women than men because the men are supposed to be the heavy lifters where as the women are suppoosed to be the care-givers . Some jobs are better suited to men because of natural body structure, not because men are simply being sexist. Women forcing
