Gender Norms

I think it's not solely the gender norms that drive our society but the application gender titles at all. Now of course, there are boys and girls, and men and women, that cannot be denied. I am referring to the act of assigning genders to different sanctions. For example, in the video we watched in class, Jackson Katz accentuated the idea of making it more known to the public that white heterosexual men are committing a lot of the crimes that get put under the table and anything else is brought out. I think that's one of the problems our society faces. We have an obsession with putting the blame on others that we forget the real essence of the presentation of crime. It is the crime itself, the rape, the murder, the theft, that we should worry about, not who to point fingers at and ridicule.
