Slaughter and Dorment in Conversation

Now that you have had time to explore both arguments, I want to hear your thoughts on the topic. I want you to explore in this discussion board the role society plays in the construction of gender roles and expectations. We have heard Dorment and Slaughter explore this issue in their own texts, now I want to know your thoughts on if have we progressed as a society? Have we been able to come move forward past the arguments presented in these texts? Or are these issues still present today? What are your thoughts on the topic? Do gender roles and expectations impact our choices and paths, or have we evolved past these ideas as a society? If we have evolved, then what changes have allowed for greater equality? If not, then what more needs to be done? Thoughts?
