Homework: 3 significant moments in my personal life when gender has shaped opinions/subjectivity

 

A new employment of mine was continually questioned by significant males in my life, for being too 'easy', a job a man would never lower themselves to do; making me feel the need to constantly reassure others of how hard I work. This ironically occurred initially due to traditional gender roles, but also because of the notion that females and males should work equally as hard.

When I first became of legal age to vote and was asked by friends what my vote will be and why, the quick domination of conversation concluding females aren't interested in politics and just vote as their parents did (the conclusion found by mostly males, but not denied by females). This was shocking.

The notion, that even I find myself going along with although I know it is wrong, that females who wear very feminine and/or revealing clothing have promiscuous tendencies. The idea stems from the gender assumption that all males want to see good looking females wearing what leaves nothing to the imagination and highlights if you didn't already know, that they are a girl. Of recent years I have noticed comments that I don't dress particularly feminine and hide a lot, the significance in this is the fact that I subconsciously may be dressing like this in order to prove to society I am not promiscuous.
