The gender issue becomes more important every year. Times have dramatically changed from the 1920's and some people still haven't gotten over it all. Then, they didn't have certain media's like television and the Internet that have a big influence on our culture. Their knowledge of gender roles was based on what their parents taught them. It wasn't until much later when women started to break out and become their own people. Men were always the head of the house and the women ran it. Today, men and women get their ideas about gender roles from sources like the Internet, magazines, and t.v. the media today tells girls to be thin and independent and for the boys to be strong and intimidating. Women can have jobs and be independent just like any other man. Some people think that things should go back to the way they once were where the men made the money and the women took care of the kids. Today, women are stronger then ever.
