I have always been interested in the gender roles men and women play within society. Since I was a child, I have rebelled against these rules and these societal definitions. We all share a desire to be understood, to be accepted and approved of. In our radically changing and highly judgmental society, people are often scared of being isolated or left behind. So they conform to fit in. But in adhering to an outside perception of oneself, we are unconsciously denying our true selves.
