Society shapes and plays a role in how an individual "does" gender roles. An individuals gender
is continuously identified and distinguished in several different aspects of our life such as;
aesthetic that is the face and hair, dressing and even walking styles.
Social learning aspect in gender role socialization.
Gender role socialization is influenced by factors such as the media, surrounding environment
and family among other things. Observation as an aspect contributes majorly to gender role
socialization in the sense that a person adapts to what is majorly in their environment. In my
family , there are things men are not allowed to do. As sexist as it sounds, they are not allowed to
cook and I believe it is with good reason. It may just be mental but when they cook, the food is
not as great as when the females cook. We are sometimes able to see most girls who grow up in
families where there are only boys becoming tomboys. Such norms are inevitable since one
cannot control where they are born and people should just learn to accept that. Double standards
in our household is mostly seen when the male gender is easily allowed to go out late at night but
females have to struggle with seeking permission.
Society and gender related roles.
Society has played a key role in painting women as better linguists while men are good in
sciences. It is for this reason you see most human resource managers are women. This position
needs a fluent communicator while interacting with people. Feminist movements should continue
as they play key roles in seeking more diversified roles for women.

Conclusion
Society gets to pin gender on individuals but should not limit them by assigning roles as well.
