In today’s society, a great level of awareness has been put towards masculine and feminine roles as well as the grey area in between. Often times there is a little more complexity to the concept of a man being strong and aggressive showing masculine traits and a women being delicate, in need of rescue and representing feminine features relating to Susan Faludi's concept. Growing up I was raised as a girl to dress in the signature girl colour pink and to be independent although behave ‘appropriately’ feminine. A current icon, that I have much respect, for has provided a lot of attention on the roles of gender at times when it is not so black-and-white.
