OK, so we have to get you a
sword, a shield, blue pants--
oh, and I can give you the
mustache I wore last Halloween?
Oh, come on, so
what if you didn't
get the role of the princess?
Being a knight is awesome.
At least you're
not playing a tree.
Gender role stereotypes
are when a person
is expected to act in
a certain way based
on society's expectations
related to their gender.
Traditional gender roles
go back to a time when
there were clear, and
at times, unequal rules
about how people were expected
to act based on their gender.
People who were born
male were expected
to be strong and
aggressive, not emotional--
and, of course, to love sports.
People who were born
female were expected
to be kind and nurturing,
emotional and domestic--
meaning, they were all supposed
to be able to cook and clean.
Gender role stereotypes also
affect people's understanding
of who is beautiful
and who is not.
People still go to great
lengths to try and conform
to these unrealistic ideals
they see in popular media.
They diet, obsessively exercise,
and go through plastic surgery.
Additionally, strict stereotypes
about gender police people's
emotions.
Girls are not expected
to show anger,
and boys aren't supposed to
be empathetic, nurturing,
or vulnerable.
Luckily, as times have changed,
so have people's expectations
about gender roles.
More and more people
are free to behave
in ways that are true
to who they really are.
And that is a good thing.
Until next time.
