The Representation of Gender In Today's Society

In a society where women have had to fight for their rights for generations, they are much closer to being equal to men. Today women are being recognized for their abilities and society is profiting from the contributions of various women. The traditional roles of men being the "bread winners" and women being the "home maker" can now be seen as being the opposite. It is okay for men to stay home and take care of the kids and for the women to have a nine to five job and bring home the money.
Women should be intitled to some of the same things men are such as having a job or voting. However, I do not think that women should be intitled to all of the same things men are. In most other countries women are still not seen as being anything of power. If a women was to address most foreigners about something important, it would be difficult for them to even take into consideration what she would be saying.
Women should be taken seriously and in most aspects they are. However, seeing as most women act on emotions, I do not feel that they should be intitled to a lot of high power jobs; such as president of the United States. I am not saying a woman couldn't handle the job, and someday it is possible a woman could be president. I just see things in a more traditional way. I feel that both men and women are equal and deserve rights, but they each have their own place in society that they need to be.
In this class I expect to have my writing skills develop more, to be challenged, and made to think about things that I normally wouldn't think about. I expect to have interesting discussions in class that I can get involved in and to be assigned interesting topics to write about.
