This created a necessity for Viola to pose as a male to gain access to any aristocratic home while stranded in Illyria. The political history between Illyria and her home country, Messaline, affected Viola’s adjustment after arriving on Illyrian shores. Instead of posing as her twin brother, Sebastian…
What’s the difference between a man and a woman? Is it the dichotomy of the genital region? Is it the broadness of a man’s shoulders compared to that of a woman’s? Or, is it the intellect, the skill, or the even the strength?

Frankenstein decided to not allow the female version of his first creation to live long, or at all for various reasons. Frankenstein’s journey with creating his first creature was not a peaceful experience. During the 2 years Frankenstein spent making his male creature large in size, since he did indeed already learn how to bestow animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein states “I doubted at first whether I should attempt the creation of a being like myself or one of simpler organization;…

From a young age, society assigns specific roles to males and females. A study by Mass et al., examined adult’s perceptions of how being male or female will affect their sexuality and beliefs about sex. For example, the sexual double standard, explains that “men are allowed greater sexual freedom than women” (Maas et al., 2015, p. 619). This is…
