INDIA STILL FIGHTING WITH GENDER STEREOTYPES
#Girls_are_princesses_and_boys_are_soldiers.
#Girls_should_have_long_hairs_boys_should_have_short_hairs and many more.
I mean why these stereotypes are encouraged by the society. Stereotypes are harmful and they stifle individual expression and creativity, as well as hinder personal and professional growth. These stereotypes can narrow a child’s ideas about what they can be when they grow up, rather than choosing a career that fits their individual skills and ambitions.
Traditionally, the female stereotype role is to marry and have children.I believe that being a woman does not mean that we are a weaker section. Men and women might be created biologically different, but they are equal and special in their own way. And one has no right to discriminate or limit their talent only till home and bearing children. They are not just a child bearing machine. She is also to put her family's welfare before her own; be loving, compassionate, caring, nurturing, and sympathetic; and find time to be sexy and feel beautiful. The male stereotype role is to be the financial provider. He is also to be assertive, competitive, independent, courageous, and career‐focused; hold his emotions in check; and always initiate sex. Also when girls are young, they are encouraged to play with dolls. When they’re older, they are encouraged to become them: consigned to the roles of either housewife or slut.It’s not just women. Men are also steered into carefully-defined gender roles from a young age. They must be “strong” breadwinners, they cannot cry or feel afraid, and they are too useless to be trusted by women with domestic chores.Social advertising in India has become increasingly focused on gender roles, family hierarchy, and traditional marriage practices. Different forms of “femvertising” – female empowerment through socially-focused marketing – has taken hold there in unexpected ways.
Why these stereotypes can't be stopped?????
