The feminine and masculine gender roles *are* entirely relative to the culture
in which they are defined.  In some cultures a given behavior is classified as
feminine, in another culture it is classified as masculine, and in yet another
culture, it is not classified as either.

Will you let yourself be defined by your culture?  or will you be a self-
defined, self motivated, self actualized individual, and enact the behavior
which you feel is appropriate for you as an individual, and then accept the
same from those around you, and together constitute a culture?

		Are we huwomyn or are we Devo?
