Gender and Creativity

It is obvious, women view things differently than men. Throughout history women have been viewed by men as sex objects and their possesions. However views of gender roles have changed with the efforts of important female figures over time. We have proven through different creative views that we can achieve some jobs as well or sometimes better then men. One of the main things that causes us to have different views is that us women are made to go through nine months of pregnancy and then go through the delivery. Men may be tough and have strength in some things, but not the strength and compasion that women have from that.
Women have always been expected to stay at home, cook, clean, and raise the children, while the men worked to provide for the family. Then when they came home it was up to the women to keep working around the house while the men sat around. The only thing with that is that even today when many women have jobs in a work force, they still are expected to do most of the work around the house when they come home without much of a break in between. However, there are men now that take on the job as the housecleaner, cook, and are stay at home dads.
There are differences in our brains that have an impact also on how we view things. Women have fought for rights and have changed the way of how things were limited to us to give us more freedom such as with voting and being able to express our views more.
