What is Gender?
Behaviors
Female
Body Care
Females tend to be more concerned with their appearance than males are, sometime to an excessive degree
-
-
Manipulative
Females tend to sway others' opinion in their favor by using underhanded tactics, such as acting weak and arousing pity
“Women who try to go along with the sexual banter, or who act feminine, are seen as either coming on to men or less competent in a workplace culture where proficiency is defined in masculine terms.”
-Susan Chira, 2018
Submissive
Females tend to not challenge the demands of others, namely males.
“I want a wife who is sensitive to my sexual needs, a wife who makes love passionately and eagerly when I feel like it, a wife who makes sure that I am satisfied. And, of course, I want a wife who will not demand sexual attention when I am not in the mood for it.”
-Judy Brady, 1971

Professions
Female
Teacher
Females are just better at teaching kids, and I bet that kids respond more to a gentle appearance than a rough one.
Flight Attendant
I don't think I've ever seen a male flight attendant at all. Better reception and the fact that females are considered the more caring type I suppose.
Secretary
Usually associated with females. Probably because it's just mainly management and better reception.
“[S]ecretaries, once exclusively men, yielded to the dexterous fingers of women who typed and were recast as “the sunshine of the office.”
-Susan Chira, 2018
-
Nurse
Most nurses are female, and you would naturally associate this word as such
“Nurses, often men in the early days of the profession, were redefined as nurturers when women swelled their ranks”
-Susan Chira, 2018
Male
Soldier
Majority of soldiers are male, mainly because they are "expendable" in terms of nature. I mean, how many babies can a male give birth to?
-
Engineer
You won't find many female engineers, usually because this field requires a lot of brain work that males possess
Entrepreneur
Unless I'm wrong, most businesses are and were started by males
Doctor
Most doctors are male, and you would think that way when you hear this word
Emotions
Male
Stoic
Males are expected to not show any weakness, which include "weak" emotions
-
-
Confident
Men often take on challenges, often to prove superiority, but sometimes they possess too much confidence
-
Female
Love/Affection
Females are expected to show love and affection, especially to the ones they hold special.
"Young fathers/who make mistakes/because we are not all perfect/but the one mistake they never make/is abandoning their seeds"
-Davis-Jones
Timid/Bashful
Females aren't expected to be confident and brave, rather the weakness makes them more appealing
Jealously
Females are a little possessive and tend to envy others, namely their peers
(i.e. other females)
Anxiety
Females tend to show excessive concern over seemingly trivial things; a higher degree than men do
"My father watered me/with blood sweat and tears/so that I may be ripe for the harvest/and I hope that one day/I can grow up to be as great a father/as she was for me"
-Davis-Jones
Crying
Females are very emotional and expressive, emphasizing "weakness"
Appearances
Female
Petite
Females are usually seen as small, delicate beings that need to be protected rather than be the protector
Bows & Ribbons
Females often wear these, usually in their hair, to appear cute and attractive. Men would only wear these for formal occasions rather than for decorative purposes.
Skirts
Traditionally, females wear skirts. Male rarely, if not, never wear skirts.
Heels
Females wear these, often in formal settings, because they have smaller feet than men do.
They also enhance a woman's appearance.
Long Hair
A female with long hair looks more youthful and young. It's the first characteristic used to assume someone is female.
Male
Pants
Traditionally, males are more often seen wearing pants than females are
Body Hair
Males have a lot of body hair (facial, armpits, legs)
Muscular
To have strength, look strong, and associated with exercise
Tattoos
Males usually get tattoos to look cool or dangerous, or to express themselves
