This document defines gender as a set of characteristics distinguishing between male and female entities. It then lists stereotypical roles for each gender, such as females staying at home to cook and clean, and males being the breadwinners who work and protect their families. These stereotypes have historical context, as women were only recently able to vote or work outside the home, and only men could fight in wars. A YouTube video from the 1950s provides additional perspective on gender roles and dating practices from that era.
