What Society Has Done To Gender

By using exploratory writing for my paper it gives my audience the opportunity to realize that both feminism and toxic masculinity are social issues that humanity continues to deal with. Many people either live and breathe feminism or avoid it like the plague, which can cause many men to dislike femininity and become affected by toxic masculinity. If I used argumentive writing instead this would result in anger instead of understanding.

The 15th century: Until the fifteenth century the only that ever wore anything that resembles pants were horse riders. The oldest pair of riding trousers is from Mongolia 3,000 years ago.  As the tailoring industry developed men's clothing got shorter and tighter which resulted in the need for a separate piece of clothing. A popular example of this was the puffy shorts that men of the time would wear over stockings that fit similar to how leggings do today.  Many non-western cultures still wear skirts today as a typical form of dress.

I am going to use Explanation writing, in order to give notice to the topic of gender roles.

I want to write about how history and social norms have damaged people due to assigning gender to emotions, actions, hobbies, jobs, and objects.
