Gender Differences

I do think there are many gender issues in our world today.  In a few articles I have read there have been problems with divisions with man and women.  In an article I have read there was a girl who wanted to get into a really good college, but she thinks she was unable to do so because she didn’t do enough extra curricular activities.  I don’t believe that is the right way to have selected the students for a college.  If that is the reason she didn’t get into a good college, I think I am going to have a hard time getting in a good school to because I don’t do any extra activities.  The college also chose students that had a certain name of cloth.  It should not be based on things like that in my opinion. 

Women have a lot of pressure at school as well as at home also. Within the last 35 years women’s lives have changed a lot.  Back in the day women were to stay home, do housework and take care of the children.  While the women stayed home and did things about there, the men were out working to make money to support their families. 

Now days, many men and women both work in the household.  But I think the women have more of a responsibility than men today.  In most cases, women have more responsibility because they have to go to work, then come home prepare a meal for the family, and also may have to do housework.  While men on the other hand come home from their day of work, eat and usually in most cases do what they want to do for the reminder of the day.  I think women are unhappy today because of all the things they have to do.  I don’t think men do their part around the house.
