"People don't want to see women doing things they don't think women should do"

- Joan Jett

About this Quote

This quote by Joan Jett talks to the concept that society often has particular expectations of how females need to behave and what they must do. People may not be comfy with females who challenge these expectations and do things that are generally seen as manly or outside of the gender functions that have actually been designated to them. This quote suggests that people may not be open to seeing women in roles that are not traditionally seen as feminine, and that they might be resistant to the concept of women doing things that are viewed as beyond their gender roles. This quote speaks with the idea that society often has specific expectations of how women should act and what they should do, and that people may not be comfortable with women who challenge these expectations. It is a reminder that we must aim to create a society that is open to women taking on functions that are traditionally seen as masculine, which we ought to not be afraid to challenge gender functions and expectations.
