Throughout the movie we see Danny and Kenickie as the alpha males of the T-Bird gang. They were the dominant males and portrayed in the movie with all the traits of a "real man". The three other male members of the T-Bird gang, Doody, Sonny and Putzie were lower in the gender hierarchy. They were subordinate to Danny and Kenickie. They were the funny ones. It was Danny and Kenickie who got all the girls, who raced the cars and who told everyone else what to do. Doody, Sonny and Putzie were not as manly as Danny and Kenickie.

When we first meet Sandy she is a good girl type. She is referred to as wholesome and pure. Rizzo one of the Pink Lady's sings a song about Sandy and her being like Sandra Dee or Doris Day. She is the kind of girl who is a virgin and would never sleep around. So throughout the movie she and Danny are at odds because he wants to have sex with her and she wants him to respect her. In the end Sandy decides to transform herself because as she states in one of the last songs in the movie, "she needs a man". She changes the way she looks in order to conform to Danny's desires and ideal woman.

In Grease we see gender norms or stereotypes reinforced throughout the entire movie. One of the biggest songs of the movie is "Summer Nights". In it both Sandy and Danny are telling their version of the summer romance they had. In Sandy's version Danny was a sweet young man who did his best to get her attention, took her out for lemonade and held her hand. As a girl society has expectations of how Sandy should act and she is expected to remain pure and not have any sexual urges. In Danny's version we get a different story. The boys are more interested in how far Sandy went and one even asks if Sandy put up a fight. Danny insinuates that they made out and had sex in the sand. He tells his friends that Sandy was "good". Society pressures boys to have as many sexual experiences as possible and to show that they are a real man. Gender norms such as the man taking care of the woman are also clear in the song. Danny becomes the hero when he says that he saved Sandy from drowning after she gets a cramp. The girls are interested in what Danny had. For instance one asks if Danny had a car and another asks how much dough he spent.

In the movie we also see clear depictions of what are considered boy things and what are considered girl things. For instance the girls are all into beauty. They are not athletes, but cheerleaders. Plus, they are expected to be sexually available to men without being a slut. The boys are athletes, they are into cars and they are constantly preoccupied with sex.
