however there are many types of gender roles a man or a woman
may assume or be placed into by society.

• The ideas of how one should act and behave are often times ascribed
by their gender by society, but these ascribed statuses and roles are
sometimes un-welcomed, and people will assume who they want to
be as individuals by going against the stereotypes set forth by
society.

pivotal role in religious life.
