Homodocile
"Homodocile ˈhoʊməˌdɑsəl refers to the propensity of individuals to conform strictly to conventional gender roles, behaviors, and expectations. This adherence to societal norms may manifest in various aspects of one's identity, including appearance, mannerisms, and social interactions. Individuals described as homodocile typically exhibit little deviation from traditional gender norms, prioritizing conformity over expressions of gender diversity or non-conformity. The term highlights the pressure individuals may face to align with culturally defined gender roles."
"Despite her interest in mechanics and engineering, Sarah felt compelled to conform to homodocile expectations by pursuing a career in nursing, as it was deemed more suitable for her gender"
