The society has certain preconceived notions formed through the generations preceding us about how a person, who is assigned a particular gender is supposed to act, dress, behave and present themselves. These are known as the gender role. ‘Gender roles in society means how we’re expected to act, speak, dress, groom, and conduct ourselves based upon our assigned sex.’ These roles exist in all cultures, sub-cultures and societies of the world, these are usually shaped with the experiences and changes that occur over time. For example, Blue was considered to be associated with girls as it was viewed as delicate and on the contrary pink was considered as strong and thus, associated with boys. Another example would be that high heels were first invented for male aristocrats to make them appear taller and thus more formidable or intimidating. These roles might feel like a natural part of our lives, but these adversely affect our lives in ways that are inconspicuous. These may be in the form of personality traits, domestic behaviours, occupations and even physical appearances. With the presence of these roles come expectations and that is followed by stereotypes that get attached to a certain gender. And any aversion to said stereotypes is called a rebellion and the person to be an outcast. This paper attempts to understand the stereotypes, gender roles as well as the family roles which are associated with particular genders, that currently exist, with a survey conducted in urban India.
