I finally figured out an appropriate set of survey questions for my topic, and I have had a ton of responses. So far, the responses are rather varied. However, it appears that most people do not see the difference between sex and gender, but they are aware that gender roles do exist in society. I asked people to identify themselves as either masculine, feminine or both, and then required that they give an explanation for their choice. Nearly every person justified their response with a stereotypical quality/behavior of their gender.
For my essay, I will discuss the different gender roles that exist in today's society and how these roles are developed. I will also use my survey results to discuss people's awareness of these roles.

I think when writing your survey, you should include what stereotypical really means to you. I also think that you should clearly define what you mean by gender roles and how you believe they are developed. You really chose an interesting topic and I thought your survey questions were really good! They are very relevant and should help you a lot in discussing gender roles.
