Gender vs. Sex

During one of the presentations we've had in class, the following discussion question was given:

If you woke up tomorrow and were the opposite sex how would your life be different?

I said:

1. I would be more inclined to work in the oil patch than to be at university in order to make fast money.

2. I would be better at sports.

Some other really good comments were made.

Some of the people in class are married and they said that they would have less stress when thinking about the possibility of starting a family. At the moment their career would be put on hold and they would expect to stay home and raise the children. Whereas if they were the man, their life would not be much altered because they would just continue their day job to support the family financially.

The guys said they would probably still be teachers. However, the one comment was made that they would fit into the program better because as it stands there are only about 4 men in the class. As men they are a minority group in the education program.

How do these roles affect us?
