19 Feb What is the source of the strongest messages about gender?
Keeping in mind what you’ve learned about gender, grab a sheet of paper and fold it in half, the long way. Write your birth year on the left side and today’s date on the right. Between those two points write at least three key events in your life that brought awareness to you about your gender. For example, a male may recall not being invited to play with neighbor girls or a female may recall having more rules than her brothers. Share these three events in your discussion post and answer the following questions:
How are the lifelines of males and females different or similar?
How does cultural background influence gender lines?
What is the source of the strongest messages about gender?
