When gender inequality is discussed it is usually in terms of how females are treated. What are some gender inequality issues faced by men?
What will be an ideal response?
Suggested Response:
• In schools, girls earn higher grades than boys and boys are more likely to drop out, be diagnoses with a learning disability and to be disciplined for behavior problems.
• Males are also held to standards set forth by the media. They are expected to have muscles and athletic bodies. In television programs, they are the super heroes, workaholics, or slovenly and inept, creatures who cannot make a decision without a woman controlling him.
• In terms of careers, men are treated as if they have no ambition if they work at women's jobs such as teacher, nurse, social worker or librarian. They are expected to be the breadwinners in the family, no matter the personal cost.
