As being addressed in DanYang’s blog, there has always been gender stereotypes when it comes to occupations. Secretary is for women; trucker is for men. If the discussion is critically looked in depth, we would realize that the essential issue that causes the stereotypes is gender discrimination.

If you are subject to racism, it may cost you money, a place to live, a job, your self-respect, your health, or your life. Women who experience racism may live through it in a different way from men, and from each other. (Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women (CRIAW))

Tracing back to the ancient times, men were view much more superior than women in the society. Although gender discrimination does not affect all women in the same way, yet the opinion is still carried to modern days and actually being practiced in many regions. Unmarried mothers in Korea are considered morally disgraceful. Indian women who show limbs in public could be arrested for disobeying the law. People should abandon the improper judgements on different sexes. The issue should not be ignored since this type of silent violence could drive the victims to be vulnerable. It is important to raise awareness in the equality between genders and avoid limitation in employment opportunities and social segregation.
