Gender expectations,I find,are restricting on every gender.Boys are told from a young age that they aren't supposed to cry or that it's not manly to cry,or that they are being a girl.Which this shouldn't be used as an insult what is wrong with being a girl everyone cries it's natural.I feel like Gen X was raised to not show emotion and that is what they are trying to teach their children.But our generation are all about feelings we are open.But girls are also taught that we can not wear certain clothes because we distract boys.Well it's not our fault if the boys can't focus we are doing nothing but simply existing.Nobody tells boys how long their shorts can be and they go to school with sleeveless shirts none of the girls complain they can't focus.When a boy does something wrong people say boys will be boys but when a girl does the same thing it's unlady like and should be punished.
Even as girls' options have opened up, boys' lives are still constricted by traditional gender norms: being strong, athletic and stoic. ... Yet when it came to their bodies, girls said they did not feel equal. About three-quarters of girls 14 to 19 in the survey said they felt judged as a sexual object or unsafe as a girl.
