term "machismo" habitually used in everyday life to denote unfair attitude of men towards women.Many of the fairer sex argue that because of the biased attitude of men to their abilities they can not make a career or achieve a high level of earnings.Like it or not?In order to answer this question, let us consider the concept of chauvinism, including men, and try to understand whether or belittling of women's rights takes place in a modern society.
Chauvinism: meaning
According to the dictionary, is defined as the ideology of chauvinism, which has at its core assertion of the superiority of one nation over others in order to justify discrimination against other peoples.
name of this phenomenon comes from the name of a soldier of Napoleon Bonaparte - Nicolas Chauvin.According to legend, the troops remained loyal to Napoleon, even after his overthrow, and was ready to fight with any people on the side of the emperor.
gender chauvinism, which is also called sexism is defined as a worldview in which are approved by the unequal rights of men and women.
This is manifested in the fact that every floor fixed rigid social roles that men and women are supposedly must comply.
For example, there is a stereotype that a woman should be weak, and a man - strong.When meeting and building relationships man to play an active role, and the woman should only expect, how to turn the event.In addition, it is believed that women pay 10% less than men's wages under equal conditions and obligations.
to manifestations of sexism sometimes even include the fact that relative to women not to apply such sentences as the death penalty or life imprisonment.Also, many of the fighters for equality of the sexes is outraged that women retire earlier than men, despite the high average life expectancy.
From these facts, we can conclude that gender inequality is emphasized throughout.Men may feel slighted in their rights no less than women.
Male chauvinism in today's society
aforementioned stereotypes about male and female behavior are just samples, enshrined in the culture.Change traditions, philosophy and goals, as well as the means of achieving them.If at the beginning of the last century is entirely determined by strict standards of conduct especially representatives of both sexes, in today's Russian society, people have received considerably more freedom in its manifestations.No one is shocked by the girl, who along with men (and sometimes more successful than them) makes a career in the oil and gas industry or a similar complex.
Many women give up family values in favor of research and promotion of new ideas.It is not always fair sex is on the "sidelines", following a male leader.
Against this background, male chauvinism, or the attitude toward women as "second-class", gradually fades into the background.
Of course, there are still men who claim that the woman can not be a good leader, but such comments can only bring a smile.There are many examples of what a woman could make a brilliant career and stand at the head of a large company.Thus, the CEO and one of the largest airlines of the country - a woman, and most of the staff of the enterprise giant treat it with genuine respect.
in competition with women men begin to feel deprived and disadvantaged.Many people really can not find their place in society, faced with a female superior.Is this not is the reason for the so-called male chauvinism?In an effort to somehow gain a foothold among active ladies, occupying high positions, some members of the stronger sex is removed with the help of the soul hard-hitting statements against them.But is it worth to pay attention to it?
important problem lies in the fact that both men and women dream of light and happy life, which is only possible if a person is in harmony with itself.Will the full equality of people happy, whether they will thanks to this successful - this is the main question.But others talk about who is more important: a man or woman, just do not deserve attention.
People living in conditions of equality, often seek to return to traditional values, when a woman is a homemaker, and a man - protector and breadwinner.Is it correct?Everyone is responsible to that question, the benefit in today's world there is a possibility for self-realization in any direction.
and the woman who offended "male chauvinism", in other words, men unflattering remarks against them, I want to recommend to believe in themselves and their capabilities.And then other people's opinions will not prevent you to make a career and achieve all of your dreams.
