What am I researching?

I want to write about how history and social norms have damaged people due to assigning gender to emotions, actions, hobbies, jobs, and objects. Both men and women have to deal with gender roles, telling them how they can and can not act in order to be accepted into society. This can cause people to be emotionally closed off and often develop mental illnesses along with self-hate. I decided on this topic because of the many ways people have been shamed for being a genuine person and forced to be what they are not.
