Yes. I am a typical woman. I think typical characteristics of women are great motherhood for their children, prefer more beautiful thigs, do not forget past sad things, can do a few things at the same time as I explained in our last class. Then I have a capability a few things at the same time. I can imagine something and call to others and cook at the same time, and I also have mind to care of my chidren with my heart. Even though I like to have some dishes, I didn't have them so my children to have them.... How do you think of me? Am I a typical woman? If someone ask about the difference in the ability of both sex. I think it is caused by our perception on the sexes and different opportunities to the education for a long time. I think that accounts for inequalities between man and woman in our society.
I totally agree with Jeung Im’s opinion. We were raised to be man or woman. When I was third grade in elementary school, our class was divided into man class and woman class. I haven’t met female teacher in my whole schooling including graduated school. I never thought about typical man or woman.
After marriage, I could find out I was grown up with man. My worst mistake in my life was originated by my manhood. After marriage, I asked my wife to quit her job. At that time, I thought, for our couple, taking care of my children is more crucial than making money and that’s my wife’s job. Making money is man’s role and making harmony in home is wife’s role. But that’s the biggest mistake. When my children went to school, my wife got sickness. She was depressed. She said she needed job for her social life.
Now I am not a typical man. My family members are not living together. And I should survive by myself. Even though I think about my family in every moment, I cannot expect my wife’s warm touches or my children’s cute behaviors.
We can be typical man or woman. That’s because our educational or social background. When conditions are changed, whatever they are, economic situation, ages, work environment, we need to change our position. That’s the rule of the survival of the fittest.
You both bring up a good point that should be addressed in my opinion. And that is the fact that much of our differences between 'men' and 'women' stem from societal norms and how children are raised. Though we are moving towards an equal society, it is still quite evident that we teach our children, even unknowingly, to act in a certain way. And those teachings are very often stereotypical ways that 'boys' and 'girls' should behave. Is this good or bad? Should we maintain our seperation of the sexes? Or should we strive to reach a completely egalitarian society? This is a difficult question to say the least.
