Gender roles and stereotypes

1) I agree with the article because there are many gender stereotypes in the world but I believe they are only stereotypes. Each person has a own personality and It is normal for men to cook or for women to be doctor. The most important  is that men and women do things that they love to do.

2) I think that among the gender stereotypes based on biological factors, we can talk about women are not as strong as men. It is because the organism of a man has an hormone called testosterone and it gives force and vigor to men. Although there are women stronger than men.


3) I will give my opinion about 3 female and 3 male stereotypes.

• Women are nurses, not doctors.  It's false in my country because there are many women that are doctors and there are men that are nurses. My best female friend is a doctor and lives in my hometown, and in my family, my cousin is studying for to be a doctor and she likes doing this study.
• Women don’t need to go to college.  It's untrue in my country and the most of the world. I'm peruvian and in my hometown called Chiclayo, many women go to college. In my family, all women went to college and they continued to study at university. For example, the sister of my dad went to college and she is nurse now. My mother also went to college and university and she is now teacher.
• Women are flirts. About this stereotype, it's true in my country, my hometown and my family. To be flirt is part of the personality of women.  I believe that in my family all women are flirts sometimes.Personally, I think when women are flirts sometimes, they are very female, but if I watch that a woman is flirt with all men all time, I will not pay attention to her. If I want to give an example, some women smile, touch their hips and blow kisses when they pose for a photo.
• Men do not cook, sew, or do crafts. In my country and in my hometown, it isn't true because the best chef in Peru is Gaston Acurio and he is a man. In my family if I would think that men do not cook, sew or do crafts, I will be an stupid. Personally I don't like to cook but I do some about this activity but my brother loves to cook y he is good in the homework.
• Men are good at math. It's completely true in my family but in Peru, my country, no all men are good at math. In Chiclayo, my hometown there are many men that are very bad at math and they can't do a simple multiplication.
• Men play video games. It's true for many men, but no for all men. I'm from Peru and I watched that in some places of my country, men don't like to play video games because they prefer to play soccer. In my hometown there are many men playing video games and in my family, my brothers like to play video games all weeks.
