Society's Expectations of Women VS. Men

In our society, men and women have different expectations as to what they are going to act like, dress like, and speak.  If people do not fall into these categories, or step out of their determined "role" then they are considered outcasts.  Women are expected to be: nice, not too aggressive, attractive, smart, gentle, emotional, mature, and caring.  However, men are expected to be: more aggressive, charming, intelligent, athletic, powerful, attractive, immature, lazy, and outdoors-y.  But, if a man is less athletic and more caring or emotional then they are called harsh names such as "gay", "homo", and "womanly".  And if a woman steps out of her expected "role" and is more athletic and outdoors-y then they are called: "lesbians", "manly", "transgendered".  I noticed that in the VP debate, Biden was not taking shots at Sarah Palin because he knew if he did, he would be criticized.  But he was still respectful of her and looked at her when she was speaking, but she never looked at Biden.  Sarah Palin was always looking at the camera, smiling, and winking.  And that was so that she appeared to be falling in line with what society feels are the characteristics that a woman should have and show to the world.  It is not right to expect these sorts of things from men or from women and it is becoming ridiculously annoying.  JUST STOP IT!!  Men can be gentle, caring, and athletic or any of the traits that people expect women to posses.  And women can have the same traits men have so society needs to just get over what they think is right and let people act the way they want.
