Document Summary
There are biological and physiological differences between men and women. There are some differences between social behaviour. In a lot of places men are perceived are strong and brave but to reinforce it, it was really what gender idea is about. We can reinforce these things a lot of our identities are constructed by how other people see us and treat us. One consequence we have visions of what we see in a political leader, what it means to have a weak leader or indecisive or uncommitted leader. For a long time, men had dominated in western societies politically. Politics is a dirty topic that men should do. We still end up have this image as political leader that is characterized by men. Catch 22 if women goes into politics and behaves as men, then it violates our image. Bulldog, tough, and not meant as compliment which makes them feel negative.
