Hello my great steemians
I'm delighted to share with you all my idea on this topic, titled gender,but first of all what is gender.
Gender is the of being male or female,humans are either male or female. The word 'gender' can be used with other words like discrimination, class differences, inequality,etc. However,it should be noted that when we talk about 'gender discrimination' ,'gender differences' and "gender inequality', we may be directly advocating the superiority of one sex over the other. This may especially be the case if we nurture the erroneous thought that person of a particular sex are are preferable. In fact, some are of the opinions that being a male or vice-versa . Then,one might begin to wonder, asking these questions: must one be of a particular sex before he/she can play useful roles in the society? Could it be that those who look down on a particular sex are misinformed? If so, how can they be helped so that they would change their perspective?

However, while men and women might be discriminated against, depending on the environment in which they find themselves, the fact remains that it is women who are more discriminated against. In some cultures, men prefer having barren wives to having women who bear only female children. Some even go to extent of abandoning their wives to marry other women who they think would bear male children for them. What regulates the mental disposition of this kind of men is the belief that men are more useful than women in the society. For other men, it is the quest to preserve their names that makes them to prefer male children. In other words, their fear is that their names will be forgotten of they don't have male children who would continue to bear their names. Other believe that when a woman gets married, she becomes another family's property. Yet, others feel that a woman's career ends in the kitchen where she would be cooking all the time.
In conclusion I hope I have been able to talk about gender.
