> Societal gender norms have existed for probably as long as humans have

Or gender norms have existed since gender was defined in the 70s-80s by feminist scholars. Before that was only sex, which biologists know to be not a binary but a bimodal distribution, itself.



That sound you hear is literally every anthropologist laughing hysterically.


Norms are not defined by scholars or scientists, even if they may define the terms to describe them.
