how much affect does society have???

When you look at a person the very first thing you notice it their gender. This is an obvious observation one that the mind rarely thinks about, you see a nicely dressed women walking down the street and you assume she is going shopping or on her way to lunch with her friends. If you saw a women wearing baggy clothes you would judge her because of what she was wearing. What defines a persons gender society or biology?
People say that men are just naturally tougher than women, and women way more emotional than men. However multiple studies show this is not biologically true it is more society creating these perceptions. Society tells us that you have to be a strong tough man and you can't cry when something goes wrong. How could anyone every develop their true gender role and own sexuality if society has already put in place pre determined cookie cutter molds of what we should be as men and women?
Although society places these restrictions on us i feel that it is important to determine who you are in your gender role, and not let society do it.
