1. For gender roles men are usually the ones who work and the females are the ones who stay home with the children. Around the house the females tend to do the dishes and other chores around the house like cleaning the bathroom or mopping. Men usually are expected to do outside work like shoveling the snow, raking the leaves and mowing the lawn. The women think of men of being masculine. Men have to be tough and the leader of the household. Women also look at men as being the person who discipliner. Men look at women as being the care giver. Also they think of women as being the cooker and cleaner of the house and being feminine. The difficulties of being a man is that you have to provide for the family and pay the bills so it's a little more pressure. The advantage is not being able to have a kid. Also being a man gives you more respect. The advantages of being a women are that they have a higher life expectancy. They also develop stronger relationships with there child more than men most of the time. The disadvantages for women that if they get pregnant, they have to make the decision to keep the child while men could just leave. Also women have to bare the pain of having a child. The stereo types for men are that men have to be tough and cant show pain. That the men have to work and be the one with the most power. Women stereotypes are that they have to be home with the kids and that there always emotional. 2. The question I would use is if you had to take a pill that takes away your free will of music to save you soul mates collar bones from being broken by a wrench, would you take it. For Sofia I think she would take the pill because since she went against her culture to marry a german man without her dads approval, that means she loves truly loves him. So she would definitely give her free will of music for her German husband.
