A Day in My Life

Choose a gender identity (male or female, doesn’t have to be what you are), and write “a day in the life” for “you” regarding the gender of your choice.  The setting can be at work, at home, or in the community.  Start from the beginning of the day and, in as much detail as possible, outline all of the gendered aspects of “your” day, paying careful attention to the many gendered markers that are identified in the Lorber, hooks, Johnson, and Carbado readings.   When finished, discuss the many ways that gender roles were either contributing to the oppression or liberation of “you.”

Write 150 to 200 words describing how stress can affect you physically and mentally, and which coping strategies you may use to work through this situation.
