Women wanted to break out of their traditional roles in society by playing the role of housekeeper and wanted to join the business world. Women rebelled in many ways, including the popular bra burnings. Women burned their bras as a symbol of the rights women should have. Although some women left home and entered the business world, men still treated women relatively equally. Not only did women not receive the same pay or do the same work; men also sexually harassed women at work. This harassment still exists today in offices across the country. Men treated women as if they had no importance in life; they were simply alive to please men. Some of the ways men treated women in the 1960s are no longer socially acceptable, but still occur today.
