You can actually pretty much do what you want, regardless of your gender. It is a myth that your "sex" or "gender" forces you into certain roles. Your physical attributes may influence your roles, to some extent (giving birth, lifting heavy stuff,...).
- nicoburns 8y agoThere are definitely segments of society that have different expectations for people they categorise as "men" and "women" though. I certainly come across "you're a man, can you help me open this jar" (even though I'm physically weaker than a lot of the women I live with), and plenty of people thinking that because I'm a man that I won't be caring/empathetic.
- gdffgdfhhh 8y agoNevertheless, you are not forced into certain roles. Except for some because of physical aspects, like being drafted into the military because you don't have a womb. People would have notions about other people without gender, too (like being caring or non-caring). You can be caring and empatetic as a man. More importantly, being a man doesn't make you non-caring.
