(Outside Reading #4) Gender Roles

I read an article about women gender roles and learned that they have changed a lot in the last couple years. Women can no longer be discriminated against in a workplace, women are by law are able to obtain any job. Even though that is true, many women do not hold high paying job positions which is called "glass-ceiling". Women seem to only rise so far in management positions and no further. Even though the workplace jobs for women has changed a lot, the jobs of women at home are relatively the same. Women still cook, clean, do the laundry, and take care of the children like it has always been since a generation ago. Pretty much said, Women do most of the work, and the husbands earn most of the money. I like the way things are now a days. I feel if I lived a generation ago life would be a lot harder. I would basically only work at home and not be able to hold any management or ownership positions. Today, women can hold any position in the workplace as they desire, they just have to compete with the men.
