“Men are from Mars Women are from Venus” A book written by John Gray. Venus and Mars are two different planets, but men and women are not different from one another, other than their gender. God made us not so we can judge others, but so that we are all equal, and we can all share any opportunities possible with each other. We can help each other develop both physically and mentally. Men and women are humans and both must be treated with the same and or equal respect! It is known that women cannot do all the jobs done by men, jobs like a construction worker or a pilot and men can't stay home and babysit children because of their physical and psychological differences. Men and Women have proved that they can complete the same tasks and take on the same responsibilities. …show more content…

Women can work on construction, Women can be judges and pilots. While men can stay home, be nannies, or be a chef. Research shows that men use the left side of their brain which is the logical side of the brain and women use both sides because a woman's brain has a larger Corpus Callosum which means that women transfer data between the right and left hemispheres faster than men. There are a lot of stereotypes in this world like when people say “men can't cook”, “Women can't fight”, “Women need more protection”, “Women are more emotional and Men are expected to be self-confident and aggressive” There are a lot of stereotypes in this world.

    Although society claims that we are in the age where there is gender equality, it is clear that women are still not of equal standing than men. In our society, women are of lower status than men. Such as in the workplace, a male employee’s project proposal is favored over a female employee’s proposal because a male superior believes that women cannot construct ideas as well as male employees. This is a result of how our culture has influence our view that women are less superior than men. Our male dominant culture taught us that women are not as capable as men are and that between the two genders, the man is the superior.

    Woman can not understand the concept that not all men think all the time. They sometimes have boxes that are just empty and they seem as though they are staring off into space and not thinking of anything. Men also have the power to block out all other noise when they are trying to focus on one box, this is what women call selective listening. Not quite this is the cause of men being simple minded and not being able to focus on one this at a time. The men in this book seem to have problems understanding what women need and what they want to have, which is a man to love. This book also brings up stereotypes that characterize men and women.

    Nowadays women should be treated equally, but some very common stereotypes are still used. For example, in my last birthday, I received a gift from my friend in a pink bag. Then, I asked my friend, why he picked a pink bag, he simply replied "all women like pink," but actually he did not know that my favorite color was blue, and that does not mean that I am a boy. On another occasion, I was taking care of my little cousin, he began to play soccer, and when I asked him if I could play with him, he answered me, "not because girls do not know how to play football," his answer surprised me, so I take his soccer ball, and I showed him that he was wrong, because women can play different sports.

  • Venus Of Willendorf Essay

    614 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Venus of Willendorf is one of the earliest sculptures of the body made by humans during the Paleolithic era. She was made from limestone native to her location and covered with red orche. Despite standing only 4.4 inches, the purpose of the Venus of Willendorf is widely debated. Some will say the exaggerated breasts, navel, and vulva connects her to fertility as a representation of a mother goddess. Others, such as those in my class, believe her to be a figure of body image. The stumpy female figure features hanging breasts, an obese middle and belly, and distinct buttocks in all, represents a realistic form of a severely overweight woman. Due to the hash ice-age environment of where she’s from leads one to believe fatness and fertility would have been highly desirable. Whether the sculpture was based on a fantasy or a real life model the infatuations with the idea of self-acceptance through body

  • John Gray's Men from Mars and Women from Venus

    889 Words  | 2 Pages

    The premises of John Gray’s essay were set many years ago when all men lived on Mars and all women lived on Venus. Once they got together, they respected and enjoyed their differences--until one day when everybody woke up, completely forgetting that they had once came from different planets. Ever since, men mistakenly expected women to think, communicate, and react the way men do. Gray also believes that Venusians are more concerned with living together harmonically, communicably, and loving cooperation.

  • Women Deserve the Same Rights as Men

    1285 Words  | 3 Pages

    From the beginning of time, females have played a powerful role in the shaping of this world. They have stood by idly and watched as this country moved on without them, and yet they have demanded equal rights as the nation rolls along. Through the years the common belief has been that women could not perform as well as men in anything, but over the years that belief has been proven wrong time and time again. So as time marches on, women have clawed and fought their way up the ladder to gain much needed equal respect from the opposite sex. However, after many years of pain and suffering, the battle for equal rights has not yet been won. Since women have fought for a long time and proven their importance in society, they deserve the same rights as men.

    The equality in the roles of genders have come a long way, from women not having a say in anything they did, to being able to do just about anything men can do; although, lots of stereotypes and sexism still hang around today. There are still those people who believe that women were just made to cook, clean and take care of the kids and it’s not even just men who believe in this. Some women were raised to do all the things society believes a woman should do and they continue to pass these things on.

  • Gender Inequality at a Workplace

    1117 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is, therefore, natural for most companies to think that women cannot be as capable as men in terms of assuming strenuous or challenging positions because women, by default, become less participatory and more vulnerable when they start to have family and children. Apparently, this situation has led to various gender discriminations in the labor market. In conclusion, although the roles of men and women have radically changed over the turn of the century, it is still inevitable to have various gender-related occupational differences because the social and biological roles of women and men do not really change. Society still perceives women as the home makers and men as the earners, and this perception alone defines the differing roles of men and women in the labor market.

  • Social Perception of Gender Roles

    677 Words  | 2 Pages

    General speaking, men are physically stronger than women, thus, they perform more labor intensive work not to mention because of the physical appearance, men are often present a more powerful and confident appearance than woman which is more convincing in making a sale. A gender expectation was for women to stay home and take care of the household while men to work and provide the bread and butter for the family. However, this is only the social perception that illustrates the behavioral difference between men and women. Because of this perception of the behavioral differences, it has caused to create barriers, unequal treatment and discrimination between men and women. It is bad to have such perception in this world of freedom, we should have an equal opportunity for every individual and don't let this behavior to bind us all.

    ...llowed to vote, eomen can become engineers, scientists or doctors. There is no limit to what women can do because of their gender. Although it is reported in terms of employment that women make less than men for the same jobs, I feel that this is not a factor in complete equality. I understand the fact that women today may be making on average 77 cents for every dollar a man makes, (Whitehouse.gov), this fact does not lessen the reality that there are no limits to what a woman can do and that we as a species have come very far in terms of equality for all, not just in race but also in gender. From working as CEO of a multi-billion dollar company like Marissa Mayer at Yahoo (Yahoo Executive Team), to becoming the first woman in space like Sally Ride (Who Was Sally Ride?), it is clear that today's society can accept women to be capable of handling any type of career.

  • Gender and Society

    2171 Words  | 5 Pages

    Society has stamped an image into the minds of people of how the role of each gender should be played out. There are two recognized types of gender, a man and a woman, however there are many types of gender roles a man or a woman may assume or be placed into by society. The ideas of how one should act and behave are often times ascribed by their gender by society, but these ascribed statuses and roles are sometimes un-welcomed, and people will assume who they want to be as individuals by going against the stereotypes set forth by society. This paper will examine these roles in terms of how society sees men and women stereotypically, and how men and women view themselves and each other in terms of stereotypes that are typically ascribed, as well as their own opinions with a survey administered to ten individuals. What I hope to prove is that despite stereotypes playing a predominant role within our society, and thus influencing what people believe about each other in terms of their same and opposite genders, people within our society are able to go against these ascribed stereotypes and be who they want and it be okay. Through use of the survey and my own personal history dealing with gender stereotyping I think I can give a clear idea as to how stereotypes envelope our society, and how people and breaking free from those stereotypes to be more individualistic.
