There are different genders in today’s society and it can be described as what people identify as to express themselves and who they are. We see gender everywhere; everyone has a gender assigned to them as they are born based on social norms of what to associate different genders with but then later on people can choose their own genders to fit their identity. Society manages gender by assigning different traits to them. Society determines what different genders are able and unable to do, everyone is confined into a box and has to do what is expected of their gender. An example of this is painting your nails. Painting your nails is something associated with femininity so it is for the female gender.If a male was to paint his nails society would bash them and assume that they are gay simply because the male gender isn’t supposed to do things like that. Gender relates to power and privilege because men are given more power in society than women are therefore they have more privilege. Society deems men as smarter and way more capable than women are so they get paid more, they get more opportunities and they are always awarded positions of power over their women counterparts. Genders definitely have fewer obstacles than one another. Women face more disrespect and setbacks at work than men do because we are coming from a time where women just did domestic work. Women get paid less than men and their are many sexual harassment cases as well. The people who ultimately benefit from this are men because it boosts their egos and gives them room to be themselves in a space that favors them. Society determines which gender is legitimate and people go with it to fit into the social norm. There are many different genders even though society traditionalized only two because now people are starting to be proud of their identity and break the social confinement that has been normalized and spread throughout history. The times are changing and we are starting to create a society that is more aware and accepting of the many other gender people might decide to identify with. Although times are changing, there are still people who are stuck in the ways of the past and just cant accept the fact that there are other genders and that people can identify as any gender they want despite their sex.
