Gender-Atypical Act (20%)
Engage in a gender-atypical act and write a 750 to 1,250-word (3-5 pages) paper about the experience. Why was it gender-atypical? How did others react to you? What did the act feel like to you?

This paper must have a thesis and must engage some of the terms and concepts we’ve discussed in class.
