A Return to Traditional Gender Roles Response

Although Dench argues that society should return to traditional gender roles, a return to traditional gender roles would not improve society to how he plans it. This proposal allows men to oppress women’s rights even if both men and women have the same rights and the economy isn’t fit; however this proposal would benefit the children of society. Today’s society women are slowly acquiring power and knowledge. With this said they know their rights and wouldn’t allow it. If society were to go back to traditional gender roles more conflict that there is now will rise. Women gained their rights through the feminist’s movements in the 1970’s.

For example, it wouldn’t be fair to a lady if she was told she could only order salads at restaurants. She should be able to have a choice in what she wants, as well as for men. Both men and women should work as a team.
Like in the clip, Gender Roles Reversed, when women were the dominant ones, the situations that were showed were exactly like how society is running today.
