Structures of Gender

Barber shops and Salons are structures that are gender based. Barber shops are commonly for males to get thier hair trimmed, cut, or braided. Usually male employees are the setting of the barber shop, but there are some female employees as well. This female employees are only known for braiding hair. Salons are known for females to get thier hair nicely styled. These are usually female employees with an exception of some males. Males working in a salon are generally stereotyped as being gay. It is different for a female to work in a barber shop because someone has to braid hair, but for a male to work in a salon is no excuse. These hair salons and barber shops structure the sex category of male and female.
