any resistance. His name was Jason and I still
remember the ignorant expression on his face,
which used to make me feel being inferior, every
time I talked to him. I knew that the only way to
make him leave me alone was to beat him up in a
fair fight. Many...

both male and female gender roles are largely

either chose to endorse or contest these norms.
Feminism as a whole has historically both
attempted to equate the societal value of women to

Helpers of men. They have varied reasons for this.
One is a maternal instinct. This is displayed in
