    Feminine--caring, nurturing, compassionate, soft spoken, cooperative, focused on appearance, dainty.

    Masculine--aggressive, tough, strong, leader, commanding, and risk-takers.

    The gender expectations are universal, but the expectations themselves vary across time and place. Margaret Mead's research of New Guinea is an example of how a small area can have varying gender expectations from tribe to tribe. Gender is constructed by society and therefore changes based on culture.
