Within the past 100 years, men and women have had set roles in the society. Women were not allowed to work the same jobs that men did. This made men feel superior to women in a sense. When a man would come home, he'd expect a warm meal and to be taken care of by his wife. That was simply her job. So during the 1900s and years prior to that, women would often be mistreated.

As of 2023, I have noticed that gender influence has sort of swapped within the past 100 years. Now that women have equivalent rights, there are people who downplay men. This means that the bar of equality, the one that has been fought for for years, is unequal. Women are more empowering and have the ability to fight for their rights, which is great! However, it seems men are being generalized due to issues that have occurred in the past. While this may not seem to be a problem, it is not right to group an entire gender and call them a problem. This is extremely negative and contributes to a great deal of social inequality.

Although women have fought for their rights, there are still some people that have different mindsets and have worked towards reinstating habits from before those movements existed. Roe v Wade being overturned last year is a prime example of this.

I feel that both genders influence social inequality in their own ways. In the end, it is unfair to generalize and force your person opinion onto others.

This is my personal opinion about gender influence on social inequality. Please do not go to the comments and harass, bully, or state additional matters. My messages are open to anybody who would like to communicate their opinion.
