Gender Stratification

            Benefits and Harms Caused by Gender Stratification.
             Gender stratification is a way in which our society treats different genders. We humans our treated differently based on our genders, some of us benefit and others get harmed for being a certain gender. Gender stratification is a form of sexism, it's the standards we consider right as society. An example of that would be making little boys play with what is considered boy's toys instead of what is considered girl's toys. .
             From my own experience I think I have benefited a lot from being a male. Since I was little I was treated differently at home because of my sex. When I was younger I always had more freedom, I never had a curfew, like my sister did. I was first to get a car even thou I am a year younger than my sister. In the real world there is always more job opportunities for me than there is for my sister.
             But I have also been harmed. At home I always have to perform the more difficult tasks, that require physical labor. I"m always expected to work more hours weekly, and to give away some of my earnings for bills, but benefit by having my own apartment. In a work place I do a more physically demanding job, than a female counterpart for the same hourly rate. I also pay more for auto insurance than a female counterpart who is the same age as I am, and drives the same exact vehicle. .
             Besides these little things I have not really benefited nor been harmed by gender stratification. I think I"m too young and have not been out in the real world for a long enough time.
