JAPAN Teaches us that boys should act like boys, and girls should act like girls.
Japan's gender norms go all the way back to the story of Izanagi and Izanami. It's said in JAPAN that Izanagi and Izanami wanted to marry. However, they broke the gender norms when Izanami spoke first in their ritual. The other gods told them the man has to speak first. Because of this mistake, Izanami gave birth to twisted children. They tried again, with Izanagi going first this time. Since Izanagi, the man, spoke first, the marriage ceremony was a success, and they gave birth to the islands of Japan and many prosperous children.
What can we learn? That gender norms have been with us for thousands of years, there's no need to break them now.
