Quickie: Exploring Gender Roles and Norms

Send us a text

What if every color choice, word spoken, and toy gifted is all part of a grand, invisible script shaping gender roles from the moment a baby takes its first breath? In this thought-provoking episode of Supersex, we dive deep into the ways society subtly and overtly molds us into gender-specific paths right from day one. Using cognitive development theory, social construction theory, and queer theory as our guide, we break down how these invisible forces shape our views on gender and sexuality.

We'll explore the role parents, caregivers, and even peers play in reinforcing these norms, often without even realizing it. And the best part? We're not just pointing out the problem—we're here to challenge it! Together, we’ll celebrate the beauty of gender fluidity and encourage you to rethink the rigid binaries society pushes on us. Whether you’re already questioning the rules or you’re just starting to explore, this episode invites you to get curious, push boundaries, and share your own stories as we continue this essential conversation.

Stay bold, stay curious, and let’s smash those traditional gender norms together!
