Gender role differences mainly include

Gender role differences mainly include social roles, cultural cognition and physiological characteristics.

I. Social roles

1. Division of family responsibilities

Men and women will be influenced by the division of family responsibilities from an early age, and men and women will be expected and influenced by different social roles during their growth. Taking care of children and housework is regarded as the responsibility of women, while making money to support the family is the responsibility of men, which leads to the difference of gender roles.

2. Job opportunities and income levels

There are differences between men and women in job opportunities, job promotion, salary and treatment, power status and so on. Under the same conditions, men often get more opportunities and rights than women. This inequality has caused a huge difference in social status between men and women.

3. Mental load

In the patriarchal society, the image of "man" is the embodiment of being strong, brave and hardworking. This image requires men to bear mental stress, endure pain, undertake family responsibilities, undertake work tasks and accept competition. Let men bear greater mental load pressure.

4. Marriage and family

For women, marriage and family should be the first consideration. Therefore, it may be more difficult for women to engage in certain occupations or pursue certain career development, which also leads to the situation that women's career, income and status are not as good as men's.

Second, cultural cognition.

1. Gender stereotype

Similar to men, women are also influenced by cultural cognition. In society, traditional gender role cognition has formed a stereotype of women, for example, women should have gentle, weak and submissive qualities.

2. Cultural values

Culturally, men and women are shaped into two different images. Men are dominant, women are weak, bright and pure. This cognition leads to different values when people look at men and women.

After years of practice, modern psychology shows that all aspects of human beings are inseparable from cultural factors. It is subtle and formed for a long time. In a non-stop state, only through comprehensive cultural inclusive education and multicultural exchange and integration on a global scale can it be possible to eliminate gender role differences.

Third, the physiological characteristics

1. Body structure

There are obvious physiological differences between men and women. One of the gender differences comes from the body structure, such as the long-term strong differences between men and women in bones, muscles and height.

2. Fertility issues

Female reproductive organs and sex hormones may be another reason for gender differences. A very important part of a woman's life is pregnancy and baby-feeding, so there are many related moral and behavioral rules. These factors will also have a far-reaching impact on women's personality development and lifestyle.

With the development and change of society, the degree of gender role difference is getting smaller and smaller. Nowadays, many countries have begun to promote gender equality policies and regulations and popularize gender equality education. People realize that only by respecting and treating people of different sexes equally can society really progress and develop.
