The purpose of the essay is to investigate how social and materialistic surroundings bring outnorms for women. The issue with the environment that encourages norms to be upheld, automatically expects frames of genders to be abided by, which implies an impossible spectrum to comply. During the essay you will read about women in their thirties getting interviewed and describing their view, definitions and experiences of being a woman. One method that has come of use to collect how women behave in different surroundings is the observation that I made in a mall. The result shows how there are quite a few limitations for women since they are viewed through the male gaze. To be considered an object rather than a subject is the product of socialization. Since women of generations have been repeating the gender role, one's own thoughts of womanhood is considered personal and has therefore been made into the norm that is being upheld today.
