Gender roles and sexism

Boys like blue and girls like pink. Girls wear dresses and guys wear suits. Girls play with dolls and boys play with trucks. When you grow up in a society like this it always feels like you are given rules to follow. Once you break those rules society turns its back on you and sees you as an anomaly. In the work place if a female boss tried being a leader then she would be seen as a pushover and an annoyance. If she was a man however she would be seen as a person just trying to do her job. If a guy takes his shirt off and goes bare-chested then it would be put off as an “everyday occurrence.” If a girl did it though, she would be called a slut and a whore. She would be advanced on by other guys who would probably hope to take advantage of her. There are so many things wrong with a society like this and yet, little is done about it.
