There are expectations of gender roles in every society, ethnic group and culture, but they can vary from one cultural ethnicity to another. For example the color pink has always been seen as feminine color and the color blue as a male one. A stereotype is a well-established judgment based or bias regarding an individual or group, though it might be overly generalized and perhaps not accurate. Gender stereotype can lead to discriminatory and unequal treatment because of sex. This way of acting is know as sexism. Introducing the first point which is women and their unequal treatments, states the fact that women should be at the same level of men, not only because of all they have fought for, but the fact that men have always been seen superior and never had to fight to obtain something; for example, the Islamic law states that men and women have different rights and obligations, indeed men are seen such as the dominant figure of the family and society. This male-centered society c
an be seen not only in the Islamic world, but also in Western society, as many movies highlight this inequality between females and males.
In ancient times nearly every culture thought that women should be subjugated by men. Starting from the patriarchal family, in fact the ancient Romans, Greeks and Persians lived under this impression and belief. In the year 200 a.C. it was proposed by the feminists of that time to abolish the law that repealed women to own more than one piece of gold, to wear colorful clothing etc., they didnt succeed due to the male-dominant culture. The feminist movement of those times, in ancient Rome started the first movement to defend their rights. In the medieval ages the figure of the women changed, thanks to those intellectuals that would get involved in long discussions on whether the women could be comparable to men, meaning that it would have a soul or it was more similar to animals. This presumptuous inferiority of women was stated also by the law.
