Gender Roles and its Impact on Society

Since the beginning of time, gender roles have had a major impact on society. About a century ago, women were suffering for rights to vote and for equal rights as men. Women are still struggling for equal rights as men. I do not define myself as a hardcore feminist, but I am a supporter of fighting for women's rights. I do not see why there should be a difference between men and women. Why is gender a classification? When someone is applying for a job, on the resume it asks if you are a female or a male. I do not understand why there is that classification. A female is just as capable of completing and succeeding at a job, just as much as a man is. The classification of a female and a male should be abolished because gender should not be playing a role in society, even though it already does. Today, in the world of work, women are still treated and being payed less than men, because of their gender. This is a proven fact. However, it should not be. Gender plays a role in society, which leads to long arguments from opposing sides and contributes to protests. I am not saying that women are superior to men. I am saying that women should be seen as equal to men. Men and women are both capable of being intelligent, outgoing and hardworking. Their personality and intelligence has nothing to do with their gender. Gender should not be a classification and should not have the impact it has on society as it has.
