People are expected to act in specific ways according to their gender. This is referred to as a gender role; ways men and woman are expected to behave.
It is thought that men are referred to as strong, aggressive and intelligent; and women are beautiful, caring and nurturing. But this isn't always the case, because now we have to take into account the homosexuals who do not necessarily follow these expected gender roles.
