Gender roles

Our society has shaped us into having to be certain people. Society now has specific expectations on how people should look or act. Boys and girls are stereotyped into pretty specific categories now. Younger girls are expected to play with dolls and like certain clothes and boys are expected to like sports, action figures, and playing outside. We see it as wrong if a little girl likes playing with cars and a little boy enjoys playing with barbies. Some of the things that I feel I was expected to do because of gender roles is liking sports. I feel like because that's what we all talk about, that you almost have to watch them even if you don't like them. Stereotypes have shaped our society to where there is now a right and wrong thing for kids to play with or behave.
