Gender

As stated Gender is a set of characteristics distinguishing between male and female, particularly in the cases of men and women. Depending on the context, the discriminating characteristics vary from sex to social role to gender identity. Moving away from the sexual orientation of a person, what else can we say about gender.
Gender puts us into roles that are set forth in Biology, is it fair no. Example like stated in class women are given an automatic disadvantage when looking for a job, the employer automatically seperates the women from a man because of the ability to have children, women ultimatley will need to medically take off from work and care for the infant and nurture herself.
The workforce is greatly prejudice between the two genders. When you step back and look at careers today, their is definatley an identity to a profession that is chosen, another example, is that  more physical jobs are geared to the male gender, now is that due to prejudice or biology? When I look at firefighters, is it realistic to believe that a female firefighter would be able to carry out a person twice their size, should the same equality be given. This in my opinion would be the fault of biology and not prejudice.
As far as the media, I think they are continuing the idea that it is still a man's role, you still see more dominant role geared to the man and with in their role you notice the hiearchy especially with looks and description. They mainly cast men for power professions and then they have the "trophy wife" who is sitting at home, or spending their time at the country club.
