How do societal expectations influence the roles assigned to men and women in a community?

Societal expectations play a big role in shaping how men and women are seen and what they are supposed to do in a community. For example, many societies expect men to be strong and provide for their families, while women are often expected to take care of the home and children. These ideas can limit what individuals feel they can achieve, making it hard for them to pursue interests outside these roles. When people challenge these expectations, like a woman becoming a leader in business or a man being a stay-at-home dad, it can help change how everyone views gender roles. By recognizing and discussing these expectations, we can work toward a society where everyone has the freedom to choose their own path.
