Synthesis Essay
Women have suffered for a very long time from many gender stereo types, one example could be that women are more emotional and less physical then men. Another could be that all women love the colour pink and that they all love to ride ponies and grow up to be princesses. The fact is that women are not the only ones getting hit hard with all the gender stereotypes. Although historically gender stereotypes have been harder on women, men too suffer the effect of gender stereotyping.
Growing up and all throughout their lives, men are made to believe that they have to make more money than their partner. It’s seen as a loss of pride if a female makes more than a male, and so it makes it hard for a woman to come home to her husband and tell him that she’s going to buy him a gold watch for their anniversary instead of him buying her a diamond necklace. Males have been raised to feel that they need to provide and so when that duty is put on someone else other than themselves it crushes them on the inside. Pride is a huge factor to the everyday life of every man. If a man has no pride there is no man. Women are sometimes portrayed in the world as pride less as though they don’t care if someone earns more than them or beats them in a competition etc. Well that’s not the case women have a lot of pride and they don’t like to stand around and be told that they’re not allowed to earn more than their husband or be better their partner at anything. The stereotype for women is that women are inferior to men at everything but being in the kitchen cooking and cleaning the house. In the 50’s there was an add in a magazine that was very popular that educated women on how to treat their husbands and it made men look extremely superior to women. For example a few of the rules or guidelines for being the perfect wife were, help him take his coat of and shoes so he can comfortably sit by the already made fire (made by the wife) and have his food and drink ready for him so he is stress free with everything already prepared for him. Cook the meal early enough so that when he comes through the door his food is already ready for him without him having to wait.

There are many other stereo types for women for instance that they aren’t strong they are weak or that no woman can be a hero. Well again that where we are all wrong, for example one of my favorite super heroes is Wonder Woman. Not because she prances around in tight and short pants but because of her background. She was created by a man who got the idea from his wife. Wonder woman comes from a foreign planet that is ruled by women. When Wonder Woman was created is was during the 2nd world war and the world was over ruled by lots of men with power. Wonder Woman was created as sort of message to men that women can be powerful too. At the time Wonder Woman wasn’t a very popular comic but after a while when women started to gain power in parts of the world and gain more freedom the comic took off. Cartoons and children’s toys display the most stereotypical stereotypes that show children how they are expected to be. Barbie for instance gives little girls the idea that in order to have a happy life they need to love pink and short skirts and to shop and have a big house. For boys the Barbie equivalent is the Rescue Heroes which gives little boys the idea that they need to big and strong to be happy and be a hero.
When kids come into the adolescent stage of their lives they are hit with so many things through the media and just everywhere in their everyday lives about what they are supposed to be. On TV and in commercials there are always beauty products being sold and the commercials always give girls the idea that they won’t be pretty unless they use their particular product. Teenage boys are also given the idea from movies and the media that in order to get what they want they have to be a badass and not care what other people think. Another stereotype for teenage boys is that if you smoke or do drugs you’re automatically cool and that everyone will be jealous of you because you’re so cool. Girls also get the idea that they won’t be cool unless they date a “badass” or if they don’t listen to their parents and do stupid stuff. Well again this is not the case.

Women have always been hit hard with stereotypes throughout history. But always remember that women are not the only ones men get it too. Through media they have been told that all men need to be big and strong and that they need lots of money and have lots of thing in order to live a happy life. Men have always and will always be stereotyped I just feel it has been more obvious and harder on women.
