What is “doing gender”? How does this fit with gender norms?

Select ONE question to answer. Put the # of the question you choose with your answer. Whether you work alone or with a partner, post your answer to Blackboard no later than midnight, Friday, 9-25-21. If you work with a partner, be sure to put BOTH names at the top of the 1st page. I will put my comments on one copy of the work, so you’ll have to share those with each other. Your answers should be about 1-1/2 to 2 pages, double spaced. Be sure to include sufficient detail to make your case! Remember to demonstrate knowledge as well as giving your analysis/assessment. As always, you have to use Word. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE; I DON’T WANT TO HAVE TO GIVE YOU A GRADE OF ZERO!

Now I want you to go beyond Ch. 3 and write about (a) how what you have learned fits with “usual” thinking about this issue, the issue’s relevance for the “gender binary”, and some of the consequences of seeing women and men as inherently different. Essentially, I want you to use what you learned vs. the stereotypes & write about what this all means, your educated analysis.
