The gender today


Hi classmates and miss! I just saw the video recommended by the teacher, called “Social media and the end of gender”. In this post, I’m going to talk about the gender today.

Years ago, in the world (and also in Chile), there was a great discrimination to women. Women could not vote, work, manage political office, etc. The women’s work in those years was care for their children; cook, clean the house, etc. Those years were very sexist, and just men were considerate like people.

However, currently the discrimination to women has decreased a lot. Today, women can do most of the activities that men do, and gender is currently something of little importance on our society, but there are still some acts of discrimination, for example, low pay, work harassment, sexism in business, etc. The change of last years has been positive, but still haven't been eliminated all genre differences on our actual society.

The video recommended by the teacher is very useful for understand the end’s process of genre in our society. The video talk about the importance of tastes, and not of genre. Currently, mainly in social networks, are not distinctions between women and men for generate changes in social media, because women are the main users. However, I hope that gender differences are destroyed in all areas of life in society, and not just in social media.

Bye everyone! I hope you liked the post! See you in class
