Language and Gender Constructs: Problems
Gender is a social construct. The idea that people who are born with one set of genitals or another automatically come equipped with all of the societal expectations and habits built into them has been proven to be incorrect, and has also been proven to be damaging. We are creatures of infinite variance and beauty, and restricting ourselves to an arbitrary set of boxes does not work to our advantage. However, this binary concept is worked deep into our core from a young age, impressed upon us from every angle, including from one of the most basic tools we use to communicate with each other: Our language. Language influences our idea of gender, and therefore can affect our actions in hundreds of subtle and notsosubtle ways.
Over the last few weeks, I participated in a group study to attempt to suss out some of the ways gender can alter behaviors. In particular, we studied the interactions between men and women.

Note on the individual paper I expect a cohesive project, where each member participates--each understands the research that was conducted, the findings, the analysis and the way it came together into a final report. So toward that end, I expect everyone to be able to document this work--not just their part of it but the whole project. Your individual paper is really a presentation of what your group did, what its thesis was, and what evidence supports that thesis. If you are a slacker and did not participate, this is where you are going to pay for that and where those who did all the work will get to shine. Hopefully, clarity on the individual paper will motivate everyone to be invested!
3.5-5 pages sounds like enough space to present a written summary of your findings.
This should be organized, detailed, proofread for clarity and appearance.

Introduction
Whenever the topic of gender arises, people are quick to choose sides concerning their
respective gender. Though this should not be the case, it is crucial to understand that to come
to any definitive agreements on matters to do with gender; we have to evaluate the different
factors that each gender would want to be discussed in discussions to do with gender. In our
case, we assess the factors that affect the speech of the male and female gender, and through
the results and information we obtain from the study, we get to see whether the language
between men and women . We have to consider the role played by gender in studying
literature and speech per se. We attempt to show how the different making of both genders
affects their use of language and if the use of language differs between both sexes.
Gender is a social construct. The idea that people who are born with one set of genitals or
another automatically come equipped with all of the societal expectations and habits built
into them has been proven to be incorrect and has also been shown to be damaging. We are
creatures of infinite variance and beauty, and restricting ourselves to an arbitrary set of boxes
