The root of women inequality
Women inequality in society comes as a result of stereotyping. Throughout history women have taken the role of housewife, mother, and compared to a bird as being a nurturer. Women were supposed to stay at home and take care of the house and children. It was their job to cook the meals, do the laundry, and manage the agendas of the house and children and tend to her husband’s needs. Even today, motherhood is still considered to be the primary role for women. Women who do not take on this role are still thought of as being selfish. In the past when women would look to establish a career they were considered as being self-centered because they were only viewed as homemakers. So when they were given a chance to work it would be a job that is meaningless or low pay. Jobs like babysitter and nanny and housemaid or cleaner were their only option of work since they were not thought of as ever being professionals. But as the years went by women began gaining their independence and began their own businesses as being seamstress and bakers. Therefore in order break women stereotyping as a society, the citizens need to encourage each other to go beyond the stereotypes and recognize the contributions that each individual, male or female can make to the workplace and society.
