There could be gender stereotypes in some professions in the
past leading people to perceive a man is a doctor and a woman a nurse, a man is
a pilot and a woman an airhostess. However, there is nothing that men can do
and women cannot or vice versa in this millennium. The constitution clearly
prohibits against discriminating on the grounds of gender in remuneration and
social security for the same work. A male doctor can be a gynecologist and a
female doctor can treat a male reproductive organ. Equal opportunity for men and women needs to
be given in every profession. Thus, gender stereotypes need to be discouraged by
creating awareness, creating opportunities and taking legal actions against the
violation of the rules.
