When did you begin to notice differences between genders? How did you learn about cultural expectations about gender? Have you ever had a positive or negative experience related to your gender? Have you been affected by a gender stereotype? If so, what was it? Do you believe in that stereotype? How have you reacted to social expectations about your gender? How do those expectations change in specific environments (e.g. in your family, with friends, at work, cross-culturally, etc.) What do/did you wish you could do that the “opposite” gender does? Feel free to be as creative as you like with this exercise. The idea here is 1) to get you thinking about how gender has affected you personally
