Gender is a social construct, which means that one's nurture; their societies and families expectations, not nature determines what is masculine or feminine. Sociologist’s have further investigated this idea that gender is formed by social upbringing rather than genetics, and have labeled it: The Social Construction of Gender. We develop a sense of gender by various outlets such as: family, media, and friendships. Specifically for females the current expectations are completely distorted. They are expected to be thin, intelligent and beautiful. In addition to those physical or mental gender roles, a female is still expected to be a mother, and a homemaker but yet still be able to work as well. In a sense, females are expected to do it all.
