Anonymous asked: How could I use the topic of gender roles in a cause and effect essay? (I know that must seem very vague, I'm sorry.) If it helps any, I, personally, have had problems with gender role expectations since I was very young and I hold a bit of a grudge.(If you have any other suggestions for cause and effect essay prompts that may be similar to this issue, that would be perfectly fine.)

Part of this includes a photographic...
