Write a 1 and 1/2 page paper discussing your family (either your current family with your partner, if applicable, or your family growing up) in terms of what you’ve learned in this unit. Is your family patriarchal, matriarchal, or egalitarian? How do you think gender roles influence how you divide household responsibilities?
