Subject: Gender Sex Roles

No, I do not think that traditional sex roles contribute positively to the development of a truly free personality. The fact that one would label such a term "sex roles" gives true meaning to the idea that individuals are suppose to act in accordance to his or her gender. In most cases, from the very moment a child is born,gender, as it is defined, is being constructed. The way we dress children, the toys we select, even the words we use help them to understand what is considered socially and unsocially acceptable. Sex roles places us into a catagory of what society says is the norm. When one choses to deviate from that, his or her behavior is deviant and there are often questions regarding the normality of the childs development and personality.
