Being a Man

In the previous weeks, we have read many articles and stories about gender issues. Apparently, being a man means having a gun and a muscular body. So, according to the modern culture, I am not a real man! Sexism is still a serious issue in the 21st century. The society expects men to be strong and protective while the women are expected to be weak. This is just wrong.
In history, these expectations were considered natural because men are superior to women in regards to physical power and since physical power was very important in pre-modern times, it is totally normal that our cultures are patriarchal. But we are living in a modern world now and our old traditions and cultures need to change.
