Gender Norms
So I think that the stereotypical gender norms sort of cut off creativity in a way, or they just shape us into thinking that girls have to be a certain way and guys have to be a different way. I truly wonder how we'd all turn out if society didn't paint this picture of how each gender was supposed to act and what they are supposed to like. I mean why am i supposed to like the color pink or enjoy watching chick flick movies... what if I hypothetically liked to lift weights and play video games all the time? People would probably have an issue with that and judge me for it. so i guess these norms just kind of get in the way of being your own person sometimes.

I like what you said about how society paints a picture of how each gender is supposed to act. It agree that it would be interesting to see how each person would act if for one day gender norms were non-existent, I bet there would be a lot less fights going on between guys, and a lot more 'guy' behavior in girls such as sports, and eating lots of food.
I also think it would be interesting to see what happened if society didn't paint the picture for us.
