Gender bias is a preference or prejudice toward one gender over the other it can manifest in many ways.
It also exists in both directions. Although many historical examples and evidence suggest that bias has typically gone against women.
In other parts of the world, the complexity of gender issues and overall desire to create an equitable society has led legal systems with an interest in eliminating bias to institute laws prohibiting overt gender prejudice.
We think that gender bias is wrong in some aspects but we’re sure that there is a very clear difference between men and women, we think acceptable that there exist some differences also, we have the idea that men should be gentlemen with women like giving your seat to a them when they are standing.
it depends way too much in the way you're raised because in some countries they are raice to believe woman inferior and even if they tried to be gentlemen they would see it in a completely different way.
One example can be when you see a woman driving a taxi and you decide to wait for another, because you think that she don´t know how to drive and that she is going to crash the car, this usually happens because men think that they are the only ones that know how to drive.
“Women earn between 60 percent and 90 percent of men’s average income. At the same time, the percentage of women heads of households grew from 22 percent in 1990 to 31 percent in 2008, according to the United Nations.”[1]
According to a gallup Poll conducted in countries like Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador and Mexico was found that half of the respondents believed society favours men over women. In Brazil, only 20 per cent, both men and women, believe that society treats both sexes equally, while more than the half considered that women and men do not have equal job opportunities.
In conclusion gender bias is when someone is discriminated based in what gender they are, sometimes it is difficult for some cultures to understand this new change but we can work it out, giving the first step, to allow little changes like in some cultures to allow women to study and go to college to do something more than just stay home.
