Question

what are characteristics and behaviors that are associated with being male and female in or society?

Answer 1

That's a huge question! You can start by making up a list of what those behaviors and characteristics seem to be from your perspective. Watch any typical sitcom and you'll see a whole bunch of them on display . . . or sometimes, being called into question.

Answer 2

woman: talkative, sensitive, nurturer,sneaky, beautiful, faithful, strong,insecure
men: violent, dishonest, opportunistic , selfish, aggressive, relaxed, nonjudgmental

Answer 3

Okay, that looks to be a good start! Now where do you have to go with this? Is this a personal observation alone thing, or something you are supposed to research?

You're going to want to explore these characteristics, offer examples, perhaps discuss why you think these characteristics are what they are or contrast them with those of another culture. Depends upon your aim (or the assignment).

Answer 4

we just have to come up with a list ... i think we are suppose to later write an essay but we are suppose to make a list

Answer 5

for now

Answer 6

Ah, okay, well you've got something to start with. As you work with it, you may refine it. You will almost certainly need eventually to be thinking about teasing these traits out into some sort of discussion, with examples.

Answer 7

Here is another way of looking at this subject:

Female: cleaning, cooking, child-rearing, shopping, paying bills, doctor's visits, school events, planning activities and appointments,.

Male: bread-winner, mowing the lawn, shoveling the snow, home and auto repairs, checking on things-that-go-bump-in-the-night, scaring away daughter's boyfriends, disciplining the children, holding door open for women.
