The internet has exposed some very wrong things that would never be put into magazines or broadcasted, such as sexist jokes. But what we are noticing is that they are now everywhere. Women are seen as endless shoppers, money-spenders, demanding, and outspoken. At least that is how most television shows and advertisements portray us. Men are seen as stupid, lazy, sex addicts, helpless brats, and most of all, unable to understand women in their own and our crazy emotions. People say that the law has been changed when it comes to gender equality, but it's the same as racism, although the law has fixed it we must do our part to make it actually progress. Feminism talks about breaking apart from our stereotypical roles and branch out from that, in order to become successful and live life to the fullest. Men as well as women have terrible views of one another, and need to break those views. Every gender needs to throw out these negative ideas, and look for a fuller life.
