Essays on Rosin

I have this constant question about why there is a stark difference in the role of men and women in my country. I am an international student from China, and my arrival in the United States in 2014 made me realize how gender roles are way different in my country. Women’s interests are protected through a systematic legislation, and women’s rights and gender equality are supported by the Chinese government and many organizations. However, my exposure in the US society made me realize that women in my country continue to experience discrimination and inequality. Women in the ...

In the article “The End of Men” By Hanna Rosin, the writer has rightfully argued on the increasing trend of women in USA getting leading roles as compared to men in professional lives.

Studies have shown that companies with great number of women managers have great performance and output levels. “The balance of the workforce tipped toward women, who now hold a majority of the nation’s ...

Occupational segregation is one of the spheres where the fact that women’s skills and talents are often underestimated becomes obvious. Of course, the situation at workplaces concerning women’s equality with men has changed greatly in recent decades and this change has mostly been for the better. But in many aspects, especially financial ones, women are still lagging behind. Women face various problems when they try to find a well-paid job; when they are not promoted as fast as their male colleagues; and when they have to decide what they want or need more – successful careers or happy ...

The situation with women’s inequality has changed a lot in recent decades and mostly for the better. But for some reasons, most women are still lagging behind their men, especially financially. They experience problems in finding a good job; they have fewer hopes to be promoted as quickly as their male colleagues; their jobs are often lower paid; and they constantly have to make a choice between successful careers and their families. Therefore, it is obvious that the issue of occupational segregation is still in place and it requires special attention and thorough study in order to make ...

The case for breastfeeding has long been a controversial one. Given to formula feeding for largely work-related reasons, mothers are made to weigh benefits of breastfeeding against formula feeding. The breastfeeding / formula feeding dichotomy rests on confirmed benefits of breastfeeding as opposed to lack of proper research supporting such benefits. If anything, defenders argue for formula feeding based on practicalities for working women but also for, allegedly, lack of proper scientific evidence on benefits of breastfeeding. On flipside, a growing body of literature is accumulating evidence to confirmed benefits of breastfeeding. This evidence does not only rest on ...

Introduction

The article explores the life of a young boy-Brandon Simms-who believes he is a transgender (Rosin, par. 5). The author explains the confusion that the boy faces in different social settings and as a participant observer; she relates the Boy’s parent’s assimilation process in regards to their son transgender identity (Rosin, par.7). Rosin’s thesis is that transgender children in the society are becoming more acceptable to their parents though still rejected by conservative families and social institutions.

The differences in the gender begin from the birth of a child with the general question by everyone, “Is it a boy or a girl”? Gender and gender roles are integrated with us since our inception in this world. The concept of masculinity and femininity is known as Gender, and the Gender Roles are the traits, expectations, and behaviors associated with men and women and what it means to be “masculine” or “feminine” (Bem, 152). The gender roles are associated for male and female depending on their gender. Though there are traditional differences in the roles, it is difficult to define ...

In the 1996 article from The Atlantic magazine, “Throwing Like a Girl,” James Fallows discusses how there are no genetic and/or physical predispositions because of which women throw a ball “wrong.” According to Fallows, both men and women can learn to throw a ball, it all depends on how they learn to throw, and since women spend less time in throwing activities, they might not know how to throw a ball properly. From this it can be concluded that Fallow’s article is generally directed toward both men and women who are old enough to throw a ball, but more specifically, his audience is ...

In "The End of Men," Hanna Rosin argues, in essence, that men may be seeing an end to their dominance over society and the workplace, as an increasingly equality-driven society gives women the chance to prove their worth doing what they want to do. "Man has been the dominant sex since, well, the dawn of mankind. But for the first time in human history, that is changing—and with shocking speed" (Rosin). Rosin's argument, however, is that women are starting to surpass men in the workplace and in society, leaving them little place to go. I believe that there ...
