Society has changed over the course of time. Peoples perception and views on men and woman are evolving. Past society built up a mans ego and in return tore down a woman's. Present day society is now the opposite. Woman are flourishing while men are struggling. Gender stereotypes have seemed to loosen up on woman but not change at all for men. "Men are stuck" in today's society. Woman can move up in the economy and claim jobs that once were over ruled by men and be told "that's a strong girl", while on the other end of the scale, if men were to take a woman's job they would be viewed as less masculine or even paid less. Even as children girls that acted like a tomboy were encouraged to be proud of themselves but men were always told to man up. Men are starting to struggle at defining "what masculinity means to them", because of "woman holding the majority of jobs in the United States." Out of fear of being made fun of for not being masculine enough, men have not come out that they are now stay at home dads. It is easier to be a woman in todays society because people don't judge a woman who is strong enough to handle a mans job.
