Gender-Either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female. 

 

Gender inequality is prevalent, and female and male gender expectations are unnecessary. Defining oneself through social norms based on the sex you were born, grew up as or feel you are, is outdated. Masculine and feminine qualities are important, but they are important to develop within all of us. Instead of creating more gender identities, what would the world be like without them? That your biological sex is only important for healthcare reasons. Who would our role models be? Selfies and abs, or substance?

 

I always become a Gogglebox cast member when I see gender stereotyping, especially when everyone thinks it is progressive. 

 

It seems my passion to act on this has come at the right time because the notion of gender is being challenged across many spheres. It is what is not being said and how people react to the news and popular culture that gets me writing.  

 

Therefore I have created this blog where I can write about the gender inequality I see and how we are all being held back by gender, how we can positively move forward and explore the world without labels.
