Society set different rules for each gender of what can each do. Somehow everyone just got use to this and this is what we call now as gender "norms." For instance, men have to walk a certain way or else he will be judged. Everyone has to act normal. However is there even such thing? The concept of normality was created by society just like everything else in this world. Therefore should we comply to this principles set by people who are not very open minded? These people who think killing others is completely normal because they do not comply to the gender norms. Everyone should not fear being themselves because no one really has a control over that. Although throughout the years, many had tried to hide it because it is not "normal." Judith Butler states that people sees something that is unusual and it causes them to feel uncomfortable. When people are uncomfortable they usually do something such as being angry or judge someone. No one should fear being themselves.
I agree with you and I really liked your example of the way that a man walks determines if he will be judged or not. It is sad that there are "norms" in the world when everyone has free will and should live the way they want without being judged.
