Social Roles

I wrote previously about how I was raised as a feminine female and Lady Gaga’s influence on the transgendered.  I searched further online and found an interesting site, that although out-dated I still found relevant on the social roles of men and women today.  I came across sentences that read, “It is not enough for a man to be male; he also has to appear masculine. A woman, in addition to being female, must also be feminine” (Haeberle, 1983).  I found this really helped encapsulated everything I wanted to share in this blog, please follow the above link to further your understanding as well.
