Men With Traditional Views on Sex Roles Earn More Money

By Jeanna Bryner

Men in higher roles in companies gain more money if they have gender bias views. Studies show that these men that are bias do have higher income then men who believe that women are equal. Also the bias men have more of a chance to gain a higher position in their company. The stereotypical gender roles come into play in this study. Women still are trying to fulfill the homemaker, wife stereotype and men still are trying to fulfill the stereotype of bringing the money to the family. Unlike what most people think should be happening in this generation, women having more power in large companies and men doing more things at home with the families. I think that women do have the right to be the heads of major companies and men should be at home spending more time at home with their kids. I think our society is getting closer to this but with the recession there is not enough jobs for this to be a highly liked option.
