She Can Handle Troubles and Carry Heavy Burdens

As children grow up, boys are taught chivalry and girls are taught that boys should be chivalrous. Boys are expected of girls to be kinder to them and treat them differently than they would other boys. But as they grow older boys are given mixed messages. Girls yell at boys and tell them that they do not need their help, and that they can do it themselves. Boys and girls are also subjected to media that has fighting women, such as movies and video games. Action movies, for kids and adults, have women fighters in them. Such as G. I. Joe, and How to Train Your Dragon. Video Games, such as World of Warcraft and Mortal Kombat, have female options where you can fight with a woman or against one.

Now a days, there are more women portrayed in combat roles. Although men have to sign up for the army, women are volunteering themselves to go to the front lines to fight against and with men. Women have fought for their rights to be equal to men and have grown far enough to fight alongside them for our country. Most men believe that women are weaker and cannot do things as well as men can, but women have constantly been proving them wrong with their advances in society.

Currently, as we think of women we see many images. We see a polite girl who can get help from men, and we also see a woman who can fight, not only for herself, but for her country as well. Women have grown as a whole in society. Women have become more independent, and are able to show that they are not the little girls that they once were.
