Gender Stereotypes.

English course
gender stereotypes.

I was looking at an American stereotyped movie on television last week where the good guy was strong, good, and heroic. The lady that followed him until the end of the movie was delicate, mysterious and sexually attractive. In some way, I was laughing out loud in my head, asking myself if that was exactly like the reality in the one we live.

Finally, I can say that my ideas won’t change regarding that subject. Women and men have equal rights, and these rights should always be respected. The stereotypes...
