Gender norms

Gender norms are a very controlling part of society.  Girls and guys are "supposed" to act a certain way around other guys and girls.  Boys like to be tough and manly and girls like to be nice and feminine.  A lot of people follow these social norms because if they don't they are of being an outcast.  Most men think that it is their responsibility to go to work and make money for the family, while women think it's their job to be stay at home moms.

I agree with Dean how controlling society is. Guys and girls are always acting how they have to. They are obligated to fallow this or else. Men are suppose to go to work is a sham we dont have to do anything.Women dont have to stay home and be moms they can go out and do anything. We all need to fix all these gender norms.
