Gender


Gender is the physical, behavioral, and personality traits that society considers normal for being female or male. Gender is a socially learn expectation. GENDER IS NOT BIOLOGICAL. As you can see in first photo as a woman, according to society, I should enjoy cute feminine things (look she's even wearing pink!) and men should enjoy engaging and athletic things such as sports. As a female my gender is often told that we need to smile while men can frown as much as they please. Gender expects men to be rugged and strong while it expects women to be soft and weak. Gender is associated with gender roles. Gender roles are roles that society seems fitting for that gender. An example of gender roles would be the wife cleans the house while the husband makes the money.
