Culture and Ideology
Culture has much to do with gender socialization and polarization: how women should dress and work as and how men should act and look like. For example, here, portrayed in Armenian dolls.
Taken in my room, a photo of a wooden plank that resembles the Led Zeppelin IV cover. I just found it interesting because it portrays a farmer-like man, working the fields. This can portray what farmer men should be doing, not women.
An Armenian girl doll, with her sewing kit in her hand.
Functionalism: more appropriate for a woman to do such a job, as portrayed with this doll.
(Do not mind my obsession with dolls from all around the world)
Another cultural icon, from Austria, a woman in her appropriate attire as a housewife.
Another example of how men and women are portrayed in items and dolls. Looking at the sexual dimorphism, as well as the action of the man and woman. Especially the woman holding a basket, a role fit for her gender, as functionalists would say.
