This means society is a social structure that shapes the behavior of women and men and is a determining factor on the roles expected from women and men This structure creates judgments on the social roles of women and men and puts pressure individuals to act in accordance with these judgments. This pressure causes gender-based inequalities over time. The meaning and expectations that societies put into the female and male genders constitute the patterns of behavior that women and men should demonstrate, and these patterns of behavior may vary according to the cultural structures of the societies, and gender roles emerge. Perceives, thinks about women and men as individuals and expects certain behaviors from them reinforces the gender roles (Atli, 2017; Aydin Ozkan & Simsek Kucukkelepce 2019)
