How does gender socialization create cultural expectations for boys/men and girls/women?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. Students should discuss that gender socialization creates cultural expectations for boys/men and girls/women due to institutionalized gender norms. For example, beginning in childhood, boys learn that they should be tough and strong--while girls learn that they should be dainty and caring. When a child chooses to go against a gender norm--for example, a young boy joining ballet--they are made fun of by their peers because they are breaking cultural expectations. Socialized gender norms are carried into adulthood. The expectations for men are no different than the expectations for young boys. The same goes for girls and women.
