About Gender

Hello everyone! 

Johanna Blakley try to explain about how publicity tries to classify us in a certain group depending of our age, race, studies where do we live, etc. But times are changing and when the social networks arrived we don’t care about the age, gender, work or profession that the other person do, we connect ourselves with the things that we like most, for example the music, movies, books, etc. Now we know that social networking has surpassed the old system of demographics, and this new system is most ruled by women in the time spend and amount of people using them. Also the author remarks that the stereotypes of “what women likes” should be erased by the women themselves in order to advance. Her conclusion is that the society has changed so much that now we don’t really about gender, is about what we think and what we like.

In my opinion, I totally agree with the idea of Johanna Blakley that we have to eliminate the stereotypes of what we like, specially with women, for example that wrong idea of all the women like movies about romance, heroes, princes and all this. Because the position of women in our actual society changed a lot, even in 30 years ago no one would think about a women president in Chile, and now there is Michelle Bachelet, this has given a lot of importance of the roles that women are taking in big companies, home and everywhere in general. Times are changing and we must be open minded to accept and advance.
