Gender Norms

In our society, girls are supposed to do girl things, and boys are supposed to do boy things. If at any point a boy starts doing girl things, it's not okay in our society. Growing up my parents would never think to buy me dolls or barbies, because they didnt think that was the right thing for a boy to have. This is usually the case for all families, but then if you look at the girls growing up, it isnt frowned upon for girls to do boy things. Its a double standard that will never go away. I think this is mainly because in our world, guys are portrayed as masqueline and tough, and when dads are bringing up their children they want to make sure that the boys grow up being tough and love sports. Its a huge part of how people are in this world we live in.

Gender Norms

Gender norms are a huge part of our society.  Boys and girls act differently around the opposite sex than they do around the same.  I think guys feel like they always have to be in charge and all tough.  Like we said in class it is a big insult to a little boy to be "acting like a girl."  Although gender norms are still a problem in our society, things have gotten a lot better than a while back.  Men were expected to work and women always stayed home with the kids.  Now a days, it is not unusal for women to be successful and provide for their families.

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. 

Gender Norms

I think gender norms are a very controlling force in our society. Its all about people judging you all the time based on what you do, how you dress, pretty much anything and everything. Males are not supposed to act a certain way. Like they are not supposed to like things that girls like and if they do then they are shunned, made fun of and maybe even people think that he is gay. Same kinda stuff happens with girls too.

Gender Norms

I personally feel like gender control some aspects of our lives.. men will always want to be the more masculine dominant ones. while women will always be the fragile ones. There are a few women who want to be independent and be out there competing with the men, but most still stay home after having  baby and take care of their husbands. Men/boys still have kitchen jokes, and try to get "swole" to show off their masculinity, so they wont really change. but as long as we still expect each other to stay in stereotypical roles, then we will still be controlled by our genders.

Gender Norms

Gender norms play a huge role in our society. If you ask any young child about whether a certain object belongs with a girl or a boy, they will easily be able to tell you. It starts at a young age that we are taught a distinction between males and females and their roles in society. The media also enforces this idea of gender norms as well.

Gender norms are a huge part of our society. boys act different around girls than they do around other boys. same with girls. Male norms include masculinity, having control, and hard work. women norms are different compared to mens norms. Norms are different but a big part of our world.
