What does it mean to act like a man in our society

Reference no: EM133681590

Question: As the readings for this week remind us, your sex is determined biologically (even if within a continuum) while gender roles are socially established. So, when we hear someone tell a male "act like a man," the assumption is that this person has male biological parts and therefore must adopt the male-appropriate gender role. Similarly when a woman is advised to "act like a lady." Sooo... What does it mean to "act like a man" in our society? And like a "lady?" What if you're man and don't "act like a man?" Or a woman that does not act like a lady? How does "society" respond to those who do not fall neatly into the sex=gender role box? Discuss.
