Historical Influence

I think that in contemporary society, although I do agree with everyone about the fact that women being the ‘other’ is declining I also think that men still monopolise most important posts like in the economic sphere and politics. Also, education may have an important factor to why women are still represented as the ‘other’ in relation to men because we learn that in the past all history has been made by men and this is taught to repeatedly to younger generations. Therefore, although women have started to take participation in the work force etc., it is ingrained in our minds that we still live in a world that belongs to men and they will always be one step ahead.
