Nowadays gender roles are shown as a global problem and therefore a lot of people are trying to break the system and act differently. But is that possible? Can one really go against nature itself?

To begin with, our roles are assigned from the birth, when girls are told to behave properly, while brash behaviour among boys is often encouraged. That affects the jobs we choose - it's very rare to meet a male caretaker, or say, a female builder. Moreover, as was said above, our physical entity is important, too. It was scientifically proven that women are more capable of nursing and raising a child rather than men. Or the fact that men are typically taller and stronger than women, making it possible to do a hard labour.

Nevertheless, the world around us is changing and drastically so. Firstly, many psychologists state that the environment the person was brought up in affects his visualisation of self, of male or female. There are terms such as toxic masculinity (which by the way means the negative influence of masculine behaviour) of which we are trying to get rid of. For example, the amount of women in STEM (science, technologies, engineering, and maths) is increasing day by day, because there is societal acceptability, society is ready to change and offer equality among genders.

Just remember that "the blue is for boys and pink is for girls" were set thousands of years ago. But that doesn't mean we can't change them today, in the era of globalization.
