Everyone constantly discusses the gender issue. There is much controversy between the superiority of one gender over another. Some say that women have easier lives, while others believe that men have it easier. Several authors, directors, and experts have spoken about the apparent differences between men and women. Which gender has an easier life? I believe that men have it easier than women socially, financially, and sexually. Let’s consider the social issues. In “Sexism in English” by Alleen Nilson it is stated that in some cultures women are only allowed outside while wearing chaderi and in the presence of a man (203). Women are often considered the property of men. And it is men who are making these rules. Additionally, men are socially accepted no matter what they look like. In the poem “Barbie Doll,” by Marge Piercy, she explains that to prepare the “girlchild” for life after marriage she is given a doll, “stoves, and irons and wee lipsticks” (338).
