    Rationale: Expectations. My Target Audience Cares About Gender Stereotypes. This Is Why I Write

    The document summarizes a blog post about a study on gender roles and stereotypes. The study found that students preferred a female voice to teach about relationships and a male voice to teach about physics, showing lingering biases. However, the document argues that while stereotypes still exist, society has moved beyond strictly traditional gender roles. Feminist movements have promoted non-traditional ideas, and gender is increasingly seen as separate from biological sex. Still, complete equality has not been achieved, but thoughts on gender roles are changing as new generations are less defined by stereotypes.

    Rationale

    The aim of my assignment was to show a perspective of how gender roles are
    seen today. I used three different sources, a blog, an article and a web page. The article
    (Gender Roles and Society) help me to understand the meaning of genders in general.
    The blog, gave me the perspective of an open-minded person on the topic and the web
    page (What are gender roles and stereotypes?) talks about today stereotypes in society.
    Because my assignment was about the perspective of the people, I decided to write a
    blog. Blogs are effective because they represent the opinion of one person about a topic
    and focus to transmit that message to a community, and in this case in a informal
    register whit a informative tone. In my blog, I pretend to be in one study made at
    Stanford University about genders showed in the Social Norm and Gendered
    Expectations. My target audience cares about gender stereotypes. This is why I write
    about how we see them today. Also, I notice how a big part of gender stereotypes are
    still present, and how they, despite political and feminist moves against those ideas, are
    still above non traditional ideas.

    Gender Roles?
    Today I went to a meeting at Stanford University. This meeting had the aim to
    see which, a male or female voice on a computer taught a subject to a student better, and
    which do they prefer. The two subjects were love and relationships and physics.
    Even though they taught the same way, and taught the same subjects, students picked
    the female voice for teaching love and relationships and the male voice for physics.
    The students argued that they were not biased by gender stereotypes; however, the
    results show the gender expectations of gender bias. So, what does this mean? That we
    still live in a traditional way according to gender roles? That we think we have achieved
    complete equality? Or is just hypocrisy?

    First, the study showed that our way to choose a gender for a person who is
    going to teach us something is still biased by stereotypes, but that doesnt mean we
    applied that to everything. Secondly, we are no longer living in a traditional way. We
    are now more concern on distinguishing what stereotypes exist and how to change
    them. For example, according to hyper-femininity and masculinity ideas, the male
    should be tough and show no emotions, and the female should be naive, weak and
    emotional. Nowadays, they are just part of the big blanket of lies on which society is
    covered. The feminist movements are a big part of the spread of nontraditional gender
    roles ideas. Despite the fact that the traditional of thinking of how genders should be is
    dominant around the world, there are alternative studies that established the opposite.
    Sociologists studies said that traditional gender patterns are learned, so as well, they
    can be unlearned which means that will mean that gender is not necessarily attached to
    the biological sex. Thirdly, I can assure that we still way too far from equality, but today
    thoughts of how gender roles should be are changing. Gender roles are defined by the
    beliefs of a society on what differences should a sex have, but if the political and
    feminist movements keep fighting against the big blanket, we could change new
    generations minds.
    Dont let stereotypes defined who you are, no matter your sex or sexual
    attractions, people have the right to choose about their lives. We cant change old
    generations minds, focus on the future, on new born kids. Dont stop fighting.
