i need help revising and editing my paper. it is supposed to be apa format . i will include my outline that i need to add into my paper and my unedited paper

1. Growing up in a Hispanic Household, some of my earliest gendered messages were told to dress appropriately because men would be around and to let the men eat first. I also felt pressure to be obedient and nurturing simply because I was a girl. These expectations made it seem like my role was to serve others and prioritize family above myself. As I grew older I realized those expectations don't align with who I am. I don't want children and I don't want to feel guilty for not wanting to be a stay at home mom. I want the freedom to travel and live life on my own terms.

1. One salient experience that impacted my sense of myself as a gendered person was being told that how my body looked matter. I learned early on that I was expected to dress a certain way to avoid attention. However, I realized that no matter the age or how I dressed, men in the streets would still catcall. That experience made me aware of how girls' bodies are often sexualized, and it shaped how I see myself and move through the world.

3. I identify with some traditional messages about gender,but not all of them. For example, I value the idea of not moving in with a partner until marriage because I see commitment as something serious and meaningful. However, I also believe it is important to date before marriage. I have seen relationships around me where couples stayed together despite being unhappy because they do not believe in divorce, and it negatively affects their children. Due to that I think it is important to truly know your partner before making a lifelong commitment. These beliefs have shaped how I approach relationships because I want commitment but also want emotional health and compatibility.

4. In “ I just Go with it” Fahs, Swank, and Shambe (2019) show that some women go song with their partner's sexual desires instead of expressing their own. This connects to class concepts and gender norms in relationships where women are expected to accommodate the men's wants. I see this in the social issue of gender inequality, where women's needs are pushed second to men's.

5.Using Social Perceptions of Gender Differences and the Subjective Significance of the Gender Inequality Issue https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9833609/

Which defines gender inequality as a social issue rooted in perception of gender differences

Gender inequality happens when society treats women and men differently because of stereotypes about how they need to behave. Women often face lower pay, and pressure to take on most caregiving and household responsibilities. These challenges can cause financial stress and emotional strain.

6. One new insight I gained is how social and cultural expectations often prioritize men’s needs over women’s, shaping behavior, self perception, and even access to accurate information. Learning about gender norms and power dynamics has made me more aware of how women can be blindsided by misinformation about their bodies. Going into nursing, I want to use this insight to advocate for patients and make sure women receive accurate information and are understood. This has also made me more aware of my own needs and boundaries and I hope to support others doing the same. Overall, it reinforces the importance of empathy, advocacy and accurate knowledge in both professional and personal roles/
