Gender differences discussion Discuss the following questions in the order below, skipping any you find too difficult. • Who has a better life in your country, women or men? • How much of a glass ceiling is there in your country? What are the reasons for it, and could it change? • How else are men and women different in your country? How have things changed? • How do those things compare to other countries? • Are gender differences mainly innate (= genetic) or due to upbringing, do you think? Which differences might be innate? • What things most need to be changed in your country to make the sexes more equal? • What do you think about efforts to reduce sexism by changing the language that we use? • Choose one gender difference on the next page and say how acceptable or unacceptable you think it is. Your partner will then give their opinion.
