==Sociology Perspective==
According to some writers,{{who}} gender may be understood more as a [[cultural concept]] and a complex set of [[learned behavior]]s that is contingent not only on culture, but also on history. Gender roles and expectations are always in flux and vary from one society to another and one time to another. Thus, the qualities and behaviors expected of [[women]] by a particular society at a particular historical time is called [[femininity]]; [[masculinity]] is what is expected of [[men]] in a particular cultural and historical setting.
