Gender Norms

I think gender norms have a a large role in our society. Girls are supposed to be the weaker ones while boys are supposed to be tough and manly and watch sports. Like in the movie we are watching, guys feel like they have to be violent and in charge all the time because otherwise they might be looked at as weak and then they won't be respected. Girls feel they have to be the opposite. Society has us feel like we need to be the weaker ones and depend on males to protect us because they are the stronger ones.

I agree. Gender norms make us feel like we have to act a certain way.
