CONCLUSION

Over the years, society has been creating some stereotypical generalizations related to how men and women have to behave. Men and women are respectively expected to behave according to their sex, and those who do not respect it, then won’t be considered as “proper” men or women. This means that since we are born, we are taught to perform the way our own sex it is supposed to, therefore we are under pressure to constitute ourselves.

We are made-up to act, or even to like certain things, and when we are adults we mechanically reproduce it believing that that’s what we like and how we are, but the truth is that we are simply mere copies.

This demonstrates how important is in society to constantly show how strictly you follow the pattern made-up for your own sex. And this mechanism is even more deep-seated in men than in women.

Men’s aggressiveness and obvious competitiveness makes them have greater power in society. Women, on the other hand, are seen as peaceable and polite, which reduces them to a level of submission.

From my point of view, men and women are born alike, is the society who corrupts them and makes them behave, speak and “be” following always the same pattern. Society accepts these adages and understands them as if they were a scientific fact. These gender differences appear later as something natural, nevertheless, gender is not something we are born with, it is a social elaboration.
