Blog #4 Gender Roles

For my fourth blog about gender roles I decided to look at the earnings of males and females because that has been a largely talked about subject. a few hundred years ago there was a large difference between what men and women could do and we may not think there still is but you'd be surprised. After finding an educational webpage with the statistics it showed that the average male makes about $38,000 a year and women make and average $27,000 a year. This is a large difference which brings up the question of discrimination. I don't believe that their is discrimination but in society, women have taken more of a motherly role. Rather than working, we are moving closer towards a single income nation. One person works, one stays home. This article helped show the difference between genders very distinctly and with nice visuals.
