How have male attitudes towards women in America changed since 1940-2008?



Women often perceive barriers and role conflicts as obstacles in their career development process (Albert & Luzzo, 1999;
Brown & Barbosa, 2001; Luzzo & McWhirter, 2001; Stitt-Gohdes, 1997). Common barriers faced by women included sex-typing of
occupations and sex discrimination, both of which women felt they were unable to control (Stitt-Gohdes). Inadequate occupational
skills, poor academic achievement, and lack of transportation were also found to be major reasons women failed to succeed in the
workforce. Childcare was another issue women saw as a potential barrier to career success (Brown & Barbosa; Stitt-Gohdes). Despite
these perceptions by women, findings from recent studies revealed that females showed an interest in a greater number of careers and
exhibited more gender-role flexibility in their career aspirations than males (Francis, 2002; Mendez & Crawford, 2002; Wahl &
Blackhurst, 2000
