Gender & Sexuality Focus Group - Week 14 - Dec 9

Gender inequality and sexuality are both very important issues to talk about, it is very much related to us. Treating one gender better than the other is totally sexist, and history could tell why. Why are women perceived as a weaker being than men, and that they are responsible for taking care of the children and the house? Nobody knows how this started, but it has been the same until recent years.

I really liked how the group started with a debate on which gender is more pressured and oppressed in the society, it really made us think all the stuff that we had been struggling and in pain with. Although both sides feel like their gender are more pressured, I think that it is not beneficial for anyone when we compare our stress because everybody experiences different kinds of stress and we are not born in the same family, same time or same environment. Also, without experiencing another person's pain, there is no way we can understand what they are feeling, so it is not really possible to make an agreement on who is more pressured. Stop arguing and start being nice to each other.
