Gender Norms
I think gender norms are very applicable to today's society. Men are expected to be strong and tough, while women are expected to be emotional and are in charge of cooking, cleaning, etc. It's less likely for a woman to be a CEO, or manager of a company, while its much more common for a man to be. Also, women are said to be worse drivers and less intelligent than men in general. Gender norms are simply expected by society and go by unspoken of. It's strange when people of either gender don't fit these expectations, and that's what always stands out to other people.
