Gender Roles In The Aztecs

For many decades, and possibly even centuries, people have created and lived based on the ideal gender roles created by society. Gender roles have been malleable, although they have followed and shared similar characteristics throughout time. The Aztecs lived in a civilization in which gender roles were an important part of their everyday lives. Just as today, the Aztec had certain characteristics that belonged to each gender; the only difference is that they had three genders instead of two. Today, society has tried to force everyone into identifying as either male or female, and aren’t given the opportunity to properly identify who they
are.
