What they want out of life. We see gender differences in _x000D_ the college classroom -- who tends to major in what subjects? We see _x000D_ gender differences at the workplace -- who tends to hold positions of _x000D_ power and authority? We see gender differences in the home -- who tends _x000D_ to do the majority of housework? These social arrangements, which create _x000D_ and sustain gender differences, end up having powerful effects on the _x000D_ lifestyles and life chances of individuals._x000D_ This week, you will have two possible essays to write.
