Gender roles and Toostie

Gender Roles are the main rules in society that men and women are expected to follow. Men are expected to be strong and fearless. While women are suppose to be the ones who cook and clean. In the film Tootsie a man named Michael is trying to get an acting job by dressing up as a woman named Dorothy During his time as a woman, the producer of the show he's on isn't being very fair to the women on the show. He then meets a lady named Julie who is one of the stars on the show. The producer of the show is mostly rude to the women on the the show. Over time Michael sees that being a women isn't as easy as it seems. During a live performance of the show,Dorothy takes off her disguise and reveals the real person she is. At the end of the movie Julie ends up forgiving Michael for what he did.

This movie is a perfect example of Gender roles because it shows the relationship between Males and females. Some males like the producer can be rude or make woman women feel like they aren't good enough do to things that man do. Other people (like me) think that women can do all the things men can do. It's a big question why some men don't think of women as equal to them. Any one who thinks that is completely wrong. Women are as good as men at anything. Rosy the riveter is a woman on a poster that show how women worked in factories in world war two. This proves that women are as good as men.

If men knew how hard a women has to work they wouldn't be as unfair to them.Women have there share of work too. For starters have to clean and cook,which can be a lot of work. Maybe men should cross dress like Michael to see how hard being a woman is. It's fair to say that both genders have the same amount of problems.I think that some people are to stubborned to say that women are just as good as men. We need to face facts and admit The women and men are equal.

Michael had to cross dress as a woman so he could get an acting job. Everyone who saw Michael as a woman thought he was a woman. This lead to some very awkward and funny moments during the film. One can only imagine how Michael was feeling during these moments. This is proof that women deal with hard things in life like being watched by men. While some women like it, other women might not feel the same way. Either way, the  relationships between the opposite sex can have it's ups and it's down.

Gender Roles are what society wants people to do. But some people aren't to happy with Gender Roles. If it were my call I would have Gender roles eliminated for good. But it isn't my call and so Gender Roles are still existing. Without gender roles, people wouldn't have to worry about what they're suppose to be. People don't really need to follow Gender Roles because they can be whatever they want to be. I know some people aren't as sure as me, but I really think I'm right about this.
