Roles learning starts from childhood by, socialization. Usually male babies is dressed in blue and female babies is dressed in pink. Furthermore, the toys with which the children play are different for both sexes, parents buy toys for boys such as, guns and superhero figures, on the other hand, they buy toys for the girls like, dolls and dress up apparel. Toys may not seem to be having any impact on the behavior, however, it does have impact on the behavior of children. The kind of toys children play with promotes the normative behavior. 

The masculinity and femininity roles continues as we grow. Males usually outnumber females in certain professions such as, politics, law enforcement and military. However, female outnumber the male in nurturing profession such as, social work, healthcare and childcare. The professional choices of male and female are not their personal preference, however, it is to meet the expectation of the society.
