Gender Role Reversal
Throughout one's life each of us face new obstacles due to the progression of the life cycle. Many of these so-called obstacles we encounter are from the many role demands that each one of us has to fulfill. As we get older our lives take on new roles, such as being a: wife, parent, school teacher, etc. One role, however, will never leave us, that's our gender. We will never truly know what it's like to put ourselves in the shoes of the opposite gender, but I can try and elaborate from my own personal experience and observations of what I fell society would demand from being a male in the United States. I am going to first discuss a few of the many negatives that I believe can accompany being a male. I feel in some incidents women can manipulate situations with body lang . . .
I went to the dealership to see how much they would knock off the sticker price for me. Another positive characteristic I feel is to be dealt with fairly by service organizations. One male mentions how females can buy boys' items or girls', and are not viewed with amazement. I wanted to make sure that I took into consideration what is negative about the entire gender role itself from a male's perspective. I, for one, have and do on occasion wear men's clothing. :-) Society has created stereotypes that apply to each one of the gender roles. They offered him $3,500 off the sticker price. I wonder how this issue ever came about the proper etiquette see of being only limited to females. This particular local dealership would only consider $500. So, I got onto the Internet and joined a transsexuals chat channel. The movie "Erin Brockovich" immensely demonstrates this characteristic. Why shouldn't I be viewed as weird or gay; but a male cannot even wear a light pink colored shirt? A few of the many positives that come along with being a male is that men are not expected to bring that little-bit-of-something to a friend's house. Julia Roberts portrays a poor, single mother who uses her cleavage in a few situations to get what she wants. uage, but men must use material or external influence to achieve this type of manipulation.
