Before Title IX was passed in 1972, women were prohibited from getting education and did not receive the same opportunities as men in the workplace, thus the conventional consensus is that women are treated unfairly in the workplace. But Anne-Marie Slaughter, the president of New America, a think tank and civic enterprise, asserts that the work system is unfair to both men and women in general. Even though Slaughter does not give coherent solutions on how to fix the unfairness of the…

Gender Roles in Today’s Society In the 1920’s women were just beginning to have equal rights, but in today’s society, there are multiple female candidates running for president. Compared to the 1920’s, the term “gender roles” has changed significantly.

Gender roles continue to prove their decline every day while people instead focus on what…

parents less and begin to pick up on social norms for each gender. They will begin to mold themselves into what is expected for either a male or female in light of what they experience and learn from society. Eckert and McConnell-Ginet state that “over the years, the child will learn to take over its part of the process, doing its own gender work and learning to support the gender work of others.” Although parents are the first source of gender formation of a child, they will not be the only or…

Sexism can be seen in many countries, for example, in Japan, China and Saudi Arabia. In this essay, I will be further expounding on how gender discrimination against men and women hinder a society’s progress in terms of its economic, moral and social…

Think about the last movie you have seen. Was it a gritty action film? Perhaps a dreamy flick with starry-eyed lovers? No matter what the genre, media typically, consciously or not, embodies a specific ideology or two. Andy Tennant’s romantic comedy film, Hitch (2005), is certainly not exempt from this. The film portrays the career-life of Alex “Hitch” Hitchens. Hitch works as a professional “date doctor,” coaching men in the art of wooing the women they are interested in. As the movie…

Same-Sex Schools Controversy over gender-segregated versus coeducational classrooms has raged over the past several decades. Among the arguments there are four primary sources of contention. These include socialization, stereotyping, academic gain/loss, and whether or not students should be allowed an option between coed or single-sex classes. Opponents claim that the negatives far outweigh the positives for both boys and girls while supporters of this system of classroom division maintain that…

One of the first cases that was fought after the passing on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a case known as Williams v. Saxbe (1976). In Williams v.
