As women, if you do not fit the beauty standards, you are not looked at as highly. A woman who fits the standard has more voice and power than a woman who doesn't fit the standard. Women are looked at more for their beauty, than their skills and interests. As time passes on, women have more power and rights, but also are pressured to fit the beauty standard even more also. LS

Women have been apart of Hollywood forever but still so many of the people that work on movies are men. Of the 250 top grossing movies of 2019, only 6% of the people who worked on them were women. Women still make up a large population of actors and are viewed as icons in the eyes of many. (WC)

More than half of women in Canada are participating in the labor force. Women have moved from jobs that were typically considered women jobs (clerical jobs, nurses, teachers)  to having the freedom to work in nearly any job. Although there are still problems, like higher unemployment, and spending more time on unpaid care work. Women's ability to participate in the workforce has vastly improved.

There have been some drastic changes for employment for women. Women are now taking on roles that used to be played by men. For example, cheif executives, and a small number of female presidents.

As much as some try to deny it. Each group has biased expectations. These expectations affect many women. There is pressure in society for women to be a certain way. The Pew Research Centre has a great article on this from a study they preformed. Traits and characteristics most valued in men according to the public: 33% honesty, 23% financial success, 19% ambition, 19% strength. When asked about womens characteristics and traits they gave different answers. Womens characteristics and traits: 35% physical attractiveness, 30% empathy, 22% intellegence, 14% honesty. The subjects were a mix of all kinds of cultures, genders, races, and nationalities. This shows that gender norms still affect the way we think and what is considered successful for women. Many see success for women as being empathetic and attractive while they see men as honest and rich. These norms hurt women and constrain them in what others expect. KB

It's not fair for them because they cant change their looks without being judged. if they get plastic surgery they're fake and if they don't they're ugly. bl

There is still gender discrimination in women's sports. From the wage gap to significantly less media coverage than their male counterparts. Today they are still fighting for equal pay and equal media coverage. Women make up to 40% of sports people and only receive 4% of media coverage. On average female athletes are earning 63% of their male counterparts. Some people have the argument that “women’s sport isn’t interesting enough”. And even though over the years the popularity of women’s sports is growing, the media coverage and sponsorship money haven’t necessarily followed through and gender equality remains an issue. LB

Throughout history, women's sexuality has always had a certain stigma surrounding it. Sex was something that was expected for a wife to provide her husband and it was only said to be pleasurable for men. Overtime, as social media became more prominent and women’s rights continued to improve, exploring the complexity of female sexuality became something more and more common. Sex was redefined by society and the concepts of virginity and heteronormativity are slowly being debunked and disregarded. While there is still stigma around it, stemming from misogyny, women have mostly been able to choose and experience intimate relationships freely. (CGA)
