Gender Roles - How they have evolved over time

1. How gender roles have evolved over time in Pakistan and U. S ?

PAK:

Traditionally, Pakistani society largely confined women to the home, but times are changing. With having better access to education and employment, women are now visible in various professions, including politics. Although challenges remain, especially in rural areas, there's a growing push for equality. The change is gradual, with certain sectors progressing faster than others, but the overall direction is towards more opportunities for women.

U.S:

In the US, gender roles have been changed over the years. Historically, women were often limited to housework, while men worked outside the home. However, the 20th century brought about big changes, with women increasingly entering the workforce, pursuing higher education, and pushing for equal rights. Today despite some remaining inequalities, especially in pay and leadership, women now hold all sorts of jobs, from CEO to astronaut, showing a big shift towards greater gender equality and a wider range of acceptable roles for both men and women.

2. Compare traditional perspectives with modern viewpoints about gender roles

Traditional Pakistani views often confine women to domestic roles, while men are seen as providers. Modern viewpoints, fueled by education and opportunity, increasingly challenge this, with women entering diverse fields. Though progress is being made, especially in urban areas, traditional perspectives still hold significant influence, particularly in rural areas. , making the shift towards equality a gradual one.

3. Factors that have contributed to change for gender roles

Several things have come together to make people more aware of and willing to act against gender inequality including…

Global awareness.
Media and technology.
Feminist movements and activism.
Increased access to education for women.
