Gender Norms

Gender Norms influence our society a great deal. They define a lot of men and women and make them think they need to live up to said norms. It explains the rising amounts of depression and eating disorders going on in young people. Everyone is made to feel like they need to look and act a certain way for them to be accepted and it just adds a lot of unnecessary pressure that didn't exist before now.
