....and as far as how society shape gender norms..well it starts from the beginning. Boys are put in blue the second they are born, girls are put in pink. Those colors will always be associated with boy/girl. When a little boy falls and cries, he is told to be a man and be strong, and that boys don't cry; or basically have emotions for that matter. Girls are told that they are little princesses and that it's okay to cry and be emotional. In school you are taught at a very young age what boys are supposed to do and what girls are supposed to do. I am too stoned to think of really specific details here...
