Are gender roles created biologically or socially?
My interviewee believes that Gender Roles are solemnly created through social interaction. She feels that gender roles were created far back in history. Males have been dominant because they have created rules and explanations that evidently sculpted society. Now society sculpts the individual based on these rules that were created by men in the first place. She also believes that biology has an effect on how men are created but has no affect on how they act. For example, she believes that men are stronger and bigger (for the most part) but that the size has no effect on orientation. This is true because a man can be large and still be feminine. Though male and female have different reproductive organs, there is no difference in gender roles. Only those roles created by society.
