Love Is A Fallacy Analysis

Society throughout any era has always established the accepted norm for the public whether it was trends, traditions, or stereotypes. As a result, there is a controversy that these culture aspects have contributed to inequality and absurd idealistic roles among all individuals. Over time, people have developed unrealistic assumptions on anybody they encounter, which should be irrelevant and not imposed on anyone. One particular social group that have encounter these situations countless times are women. Society has cultural conditioned women to be individuals who are weak, dumb, and inefficient in anything except as a housewife. Which has given men the deciding factor of what women’s part is essential; however, since there are different preferences

Additionally, it illustrates the era of the past where women held a minor role in society, no matter if they were furthering up their education or career.

Today, people would have been appalled by how a woman was never acknowledged or how men lower their standards in order to see them eye to eye. Not only did women have to uphold to men’s biased expectations, but were deemed as simple-minded people incapable of anything and that only had to look
