Gender Inequality

Why is there social disapproval for men to have "feminine" traits and characteristics? Is there similar disapproval for women who have "masculine" traits and characteristics? Why or why not? Are men more restricted by their gender role than women are? If men in our society, and throughout the world, had more traits and characteristics traditionally defined as "feminine," what would the effects be on the following social problems?

• teenage and unmarried childbearing
• physical and mental health
• homophobia, discrimination against gays, and anti-gay violence
• gender inequality
