Response to a comment

A lot of the comments on Woman warrior seemed to be about womens roles and changes in the present day society and how those may have become embedded in our society. The way that i see it, sexism has become so entrenched in our everyday lives, that it'll take a signnificant effort on our part to remove it. The reason why it has become so infused in our lives is because everyone has taken it for granted. We naturally assume that it is right for women to take on a more supportive role and for men to be the "pillar". There hasn't been enough attention paid to the diffuculties that most women face in todays workforce. The idea that women should stay home and cook goes as far back as anyone can remember. But perhaps it is time for a change. In order for us to overcome these stereotypes we must first create more awareness before we can have any hopes of solving the problem.
