“The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says “It’s a girl.”.”-Shirley Chisholm. From the moment we are born we are put into two categories boy or girl, which changes our entire life. If we are a boy we will be given action figures when we are young grow up playing ball and watching sports and when we are teenagers we must become gun loving sex hounds. If we are a girl we grow up with Barbie’s and play kitchens and as teenagers you must wear makeup and sexy outfits. If we don’t do what is expected of our given sex then we will be frowned upon from all parts of society. If women escape from the torment of the kitchen and house work and can all become strong independent women. Then men will also in turn be able to show emotion. If women become truly equal to men and stereotyping of women ceases to exist, then the same will happen for men. Once men’s stereotyping is over than people who are gay will no longer have to conform to societies wants. We all must fight for women’s rights because in turn comes men’s rights and next to that gay and even transgender rights.
