Society has placed generic characteristics on what it means to be a man or a woman. A man must work for a living to provide for his family and himself to maintain financial stability. A woman must bare children, keep the house clean, cook and stay at home. Society has created this set script on “How to be a Man/Woman”, and for generations this script has been recited line for line in many American households.

When expecting a girl, families often use a pink theme or anything that represents the lifestyle of a princess. This psychologically enforces the idea that boys can’t like pink, and that pink is an “unmanly” color. Families also rely on the media and the image they paint on what it takes to be a man or a woman, and uses it as a guide to raise a child. The media has been a growing outlet as decades go by. With the ever-growing improvement in social media and technology, sharing ideas has never been this easy and put on a major platform. The constant broadcasting of social roles have etched these ideas in stone. Through ads and television shows, we are constantly reminded of societies idea of what it takes to be a man or woman.
