    The document discusses how gender roles are shaped from a young age through various influences like family, media, and community. The narrator describes how they were exposed to rigid views of masculinity and femininity growing up, with men often portrayed as promiscuous and careless, while women were mostly shown as sexual objects or homemakers. These stereotypes reinforced similar messages the narrator received from their family about appropriate gender behavior. The document argues that gender concepts are largely developed in childhood through media portrayals that establish standards for how each sex should act, making it difficult but important to see people of all genders simply as individuals.
