Gender Role

http://youtu.be/v6ZDa1K2f4A
The video I've posted is a clip from the movie " The Color Purple". In this clip, it clearly shows how the woman has a role in her marriage back in those times and that was to obey her husband, cook, clean, have children, take care of the children, and do all the dirty work. The clip shows more then one scene because I wanted to show more examples incase the vision wasn't clear enough for the viewer.

This video is saying that back in those times women were not looked at as special. They were looked at as basically slaves. They were not worthy if they was not married and when they became married they had to obide by the rules or they would get beat. Women Couldn't take on normal jobs or play house hold roles as the men did because they had to honor their husband.

This effects the viewer because this is not the way a woman should be treated. Women are very important, I love them because without them the world don't go around. Without women their wouldn't be peace, and most of all true love. Regardless of gender or sexaul preference, without women their wouldn't be anything such as romantic. This really effected me when I watched this and made me a better man.

I disagree with this message to the fullest of my ablity. I think women should be treated like queens, angels, and royal. they should never have to feel struggle or pain. They should be worshipped and taking care of. Women should be able to do anything a man can do because they can do it just as good as we can. This video was a perfect example of what gender roles shouldn't be.
