Gender Roles in Politics

Hi, I'm Kira and for my subtopic I've chosen Gender roles in Politics. Well, for starters, I'll go into more depth of what gender roles and politics really are. Gender roles are a role in which most people are categorized into whether they choose to or even if they don't even identify as male or female in my opinion. As the published definition on Dictionary.com it's "the public image of being male or female that a person presents to others" or " a set of behaviors that indicates one's gender, specif. the image projected by a person that identifies their femaleness or maleness; an overt public presentation of gender identity". That becomes tricky when a person doesn't identify as male or female. Plus, there are chinks in the defining of gender roles because how a person presents themselves and acts isn't a solid clarification of how or what they identify as. 

Then there is politics, in my own words it's the cutthroat business of debating and dealing with political affairs and displaying opinions and principles with the world. One of the few actual definitions is that politics is "the science or art of political government". Politics tend to become complex depending on how a person views it and interprets it. Typically, most don't discuss it due to its touchy subjects and what it tends to lead to. 

Ultimately, I will be posting articles, vlogs, and others sources that represent and explain my subtopic. Hopefully you readers out there will enjoy and continue to read the updates.



Thank you, 
Kira.
