Gender standards are entirely pervasive. We raise our sons to be masculine and our daughters to be feminine, which perpetuates the gender role formula when they grow up to be parents and raise their own children.

By spoofing your GPS location, you can effectively travel all across the globe — at least in the eyes of Snapchat.
