External
influences such as biology and economics are juxtaposed with internal
influences such as psychology and sexuality to explain how roles are perceived
both collectively and individually. What determines gender? What are the origins
of gender perspective? Women have a tendency to characterize themselves
according to external perspectives, claiming to be a type of woman. The willingness to categorize
one’s gender into types is an internal process driven by external stimuli. Day
to day, we interact with others who have chosen roles for themselves, and we
experience what works, what doesn’t, and choose what is compatible to our
individual definition of gender.
