Introduction
Women are supposed to act like lady's, feminim and fragile, while Men are supposed to be manly and never cry
Why do people think we should follow these stereotypes and act manly, or ladylike? We are all our own person and no one should judge us for that.
In this Web Quest we will be looking at and evaluating Gender Stereotypes for both men and women.
Task
Did you know..
The kind and caring nature stereotypes are dumped on women because it's thought that we are kind and nuturing when men can be like that too, big surprise right
In this webquest you'll be looking through the links listed and make an T-Chart of gender stereotypes and decide your opinions on these gender stereotypes. There are no wrong answers but be aware not everyone will agree with your opinions.
Process
