Topic:
The reading assignments and our class discussions have made us think about the specific advantages or disadvantages of being male and of being female.

Write an essay in which you answer the question: who has it harder today, women or men? Since this question is very broad, you might consider limiting your discussion to family, career, education, society’s expectations, sports, relationships, biology, stereotypes, or any other area you choose.

Refer to at least one of the essays that we read in class to supplement your argument. You may also refer to your own experiences, observations, and the ideas we discussed in class.
