Picture this. Mom in the kitchen cooking a nutritious dinner. Dad just stepping in the house from a hard day at work and the children in the living room playing. This is the picture perfect family right? In every idea of a picture perfect family the story can change. The children can be off in college or at a friends house. Dad can work at home or off relaxing and watching television. But where is mom? The view of a wife/mom tends to be the loving mother that tends to the family's every needs, cook, clean and at the same time always dressed nicely with a proper haircut and makeup. This unfair stereotype has existed for a long time and was further amplified in the 1950s with the invention of the television. I picked this photo to display the sexism against women, because it shows the women admiring the refrigerator. Now where is the man in this picture? Nowhere to be found. It is only showing the women in the kitchen because to many beliefs that is where they should be. It also shows the prim and proper women which is displays what the ideal woman should be. Sexism is still an issue that still exsists in today's society. It is only now becoming widely accepted to have the matriarch of the household to be out working and making a living and the matriarch can be home doing the cooking and cleaning. Although this is accepted it is still hard for the man to have the woman bringing home the money. And still women are supressed and treated unfairly. This view of women is something that will continue for many years to come and possible never completely change.
