From the Bible to the Koran, every religious guideline contains references to men overpowering and disrespecting women. Growing up, children are taught that women belong in front of the fireplace and that men must make big money. Why is it that we hold on so tightly to these stereotypes?
Anno the 21st Century, our stereotypes seem to have travelled along. For ages, women have tried to break the cycle, and they did. More and more women occupy leadership positions, fighting for their seat in the traditional man’s world. However, they claim to still be faced with way to many prejudices and disbelief.
Stereotyping is not an issue we can solve overnight. Systematically, we need to focus on eliminating all kinds of disrespect towards the capacities of woman, resulting in a bias-free generation.
