Sexism: Problem as old as humanity

The gender roles is a very very old topic around the world, almost since man inhabits the Earth. But since the beginning it began to arise the social convention of many roles for men and women, which generated an others conventions and sexism, discrimination, a chauvinistic men and, a long term, a feminists women, that despite the name, they are fighting for equality.

In Chile, like a many of countries, the sexism and the discrimination is a reality, exists the typical conventions like:

-          The women are the weaker sex.

-          The women are a housewife, nothing more.   

-          Boys don´t cry.

-          Boys don’t cook

-          Both sexes are sex objects (which is linked with superficial).

-          Etc.

If you ask me, I admit that sometimes I have been a chauvinist because I, like many others, I was born 

conditioned in this society, and the difference is that I decided to think about this. In the whole, I’m not 

agree with the gender roles, in the end all of we are humans dude!  

In this country exists the social condition for sexes, the people are conditioned by social conventions from very long time ago, the thing what catches my attention it is to see as normal that the women get less money than men for the same jobs, as I said before, we are humans!, it’s the same condition, all of we have hearts and minds, we fulfill the same work but the women get paid with less money, why? There are not many reasons that convinced me.

Finally, we have to fight for equality, for both genders, at the university and job, inherit that wisdom to our children, to make a more humanized world, where there is really equality.
