Women often show their gender by wearing their hair a certain way or decorating their face with makeup. Makeup is a type of paint made specifically for the face. It can be applied to the eyes, cheeks, lips, and skin to recreate a more desirable appearance. Men also have been known to wear their hair in the style shown above, but they generally put a lot less effort into creating the hairstyle. Hairstyles have been a big business in the United States and they have changed immensely through the years. One hairstyle from the 1980's would no longer be popular these days as new hairstyles have been invented.

This is a device that you would never find in an area where just men are present. This is a device that provides women with certain protections during certain times of the month. The ritual of buying this is very private and women do not share this information with men. These devices are often located within the room where women use the lavatory.

A man will often show his gender role by holding his bag on just one shoulder. Why would one do this? The assumption is that the man is always ready to fight. If both of the straps of the bag are over the shoulder, it would take more time for the man to ready himself for combat. The one shoulder technique makes it easier for the man to throw down his bag and ready himself for action or he may even use it as a weapon, swinging it around to hit his attacker. These types of bags have been around for quite some time, they come in a variety of colors and sizes.
Although this is not a picture of a student, these people do represent an interesting sitting pattern among men and women. When a women sits down, she generally sits as you see above, with one leg crossed over another. The idea behind this is a bit antiquated as the reasoning was to prevent someone from looking up specific types of clothing. As you can see in this picture, both of the females are crossing their legs because the bottom they are wearing (a skirt) is short enough to show their private regions. At one time, a skirt was the only form of clothing bottom that a woman was really allowed to wear. At some point, though, women began to wear the bottom that you see the man wearing, pants. Pants have a lot more versatility and provide more warmth in colder weather. It is very common now to see women wearing pants. The interesting thing though is that women still will generally sit in the same fashion, with one leg crossed over the other- even when they are wearing pants. As you can see, the men in this picture sit differently with one leg bent and the ankle resting on the knee. Another, more common way for men to sit is just with their legs spread open, both feet on the floor.
