What image do you see when you hear the word, heretic? My mind goes straight to a woman burning at the stake, Joan of Arc style. Fire and Brimstone, eternal damnation, and all that. Light flickering from the fire onto the disapproving face of an elderly man of power, a Reverend, Bishop, or something of the sort. He watches the so-called “heretic” burn, her screams erupting from the flames, and feels he has done his job, allegedly protecting his flock from the devilish influences of the “different” or the “other” within his society. The “heretic” dared to go against the status quo, and now she must pay with her life, as a warning to others who may be tempted to follow the same path. He nods approvingly, he feels justice has been served, and his flock is back in order.

In our society gender is a criterion that decides which gender is allowed to do things and which is not, so it depends on gender differences which sometimes becomes biased and double standard. Double standards have been made, especially for a woman. It appears that woman's personality becomes weak, and they become unable to be multirole personality.

Men write about Women
He had a guitar in his room. He had a notebook and stray bits of paper on his bed. He had a button fly and his hair in quiff. All warning signs that he was a sensitive soul who wrote his own lyrics. The next day there was a stray piece of paper in tight handwriting pushed under her door; folded in two and labelled For You.

Be Your Own Hero. Top Story - March 2022.

This instilled in us as young female children, that we needed an outside influence to rescue us from whatever life brought us that was beyond our control to overcome.
