Answer 2

“Anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything, better than you”, in ‘Annie Get Your Gun’ performed by Ethel Merman and Ray Middleton, is one of many examples of the constant battle of the sexes. In American society, the roles of men and the roles of women have always been fairly different, at times, much more different than others. A lot of history books and other resources will tell you about the difference of gender roles in the past.
Women generally have had fewer rights than men throughout history. At one point in time, women weren’t allowed to vote. It was always just expected of the woman to do the household duties, such as cleaning and cooking, taking care of the children also. The women were what we call “stay at home mothers”. They weren’t expected to have jobs, and if they did, it was of a lower power than men, such as secretaries or waitresses. Women have been able to do more over time, and now, are about equal with men. Women have the same political rights as men, they’re allowed to have high paying jobs, and they aren’t expected to just watch the children and do housework anymore.
In marriage, men were expected to rule over their wives. They always seemed to have a higher power over the women, because they were thought to be intelligent, determined, aggressive and the stronger gender. They had the better paying jobs, they had political rights, and they didn’t do much housework. Men respect women much more in today’s society. Men are still considered the dominant gender, but they allow women to have most of the same rights as them. Some men today do the duties of women in the past; they take care of children, and do housework.
Gender roles in society have changed throughout the years, women are able to do more, and men don’t overrule the women. In today’s society, it’s common to hear about a stay at home dad, but in the past, that wasn’t common. Men usually did all the work outside of home, and made the money, while women did all the work at home. Now both genders do both duties, making living situations easier for most people in today’s society.

Answer 3

You have an amazing introduction; though you are lacking a strong thesis statement. Try adding something like, "Annie get you gun" is a clear example of how gender roles have played a role in the American society in that past and how things have progressed over time.
*remember a thesis statement is something you are trying to prove throughout your story and is something you can connect back to the beginning... Overall it's really great!!!
