Global Field Entry #6

In France gender is an interesting topic, and many in France consider it a sore subject. In today's society, almost all of the French women are working and getting paid for their work, but they still receive sexism daily in the workforce, at school, in policies, and every day in public. While men are still seen as being the primary source of income, and woman are expected to cook, clean and do childcare. The French gender roles are and have been defined for generations by patriarchal group wanting a clear part between male and female roles in society. those roles allow for stricter policies and rules hidden in plain sight due to Frances want for "Gender equality". In the French policies, the state sets a very strict definition of motherhood keeping a heteronormative way and defining that motherhood can only occur in a two-person household, almost always excluding the nonbinary, genderfluid, and some women. Family structures in France take a more open approach to families, including extended families and nuclear families. While in recent years the family structure can include nuclear families, blended families, or even single parent households. While the family structure in France is very open is doesn't help with the gender roles in France, with their policies and rules disregarding the nonbinary and genderfluid individuals. In France many families are living together with children before they get married or live together in place of getting married. The French that do get married normally marry within their region as well as within their religion. and social While some might see the French as a masculine country and culture, with their love of good food, great wine, and rest time they have more of a caring and quality of life values to their culture, opposite to the aggressive and competitiveness to a masculine culture. While the culture isn't considered masculine the government is trying hard to become a masculine group. On the other side, French women are expected to keep the stereotypical "feminine" ways like their dress, act and how they hold themselves.
