Gender Myths

As we approach the midpoint of the semester, we will begin discussing the myths of gender in America. Your next blog response will not be based on the readings, but a two part response based on your ideas on gender.

Part One (completed in class): Imagine for a moment that you were born female (if you're a man) or male (if you're a woman). How would your life be different? Would any of your interests and activities change? How about your relationships with your other people?

Part Two (completed outside of class): Post your in-class writing from part one and analyze why you feel this way. Why would your life be different or the same? What has society taught you is appropriate for each gender role?

These posts are due by 5 pm on Friday, February 25th.
