I feel the most compelling gender issue to be in the different treatment in reproduction between men and women.
Women have a plethora of contraceptives; men have one.
In a general sense, it takes both to decide to create a pregnancy (not counting actual rape). After conception:
Women can take the morning after pill; men have no choice in this either way.
Women can abort the fetus; men have no choice in this.
Women can give birth and within a short period simply abandon the baby; men cannot.
Women can lie about paternity and have the baby adopted by someone else; men cannot.
Women are automatically considered the child's parent; men are not necessarily yet some men have been named as "father" who are unrelated to the children.
Women are predominately given custody after divorce; men rarely get custody unless the mother agrees and often not even then.

WHY DOES SELECTIVE REJECTION, Deferred- Gratification, direct over sight: are Police and think tank words that are monopolistic in Republican power structure, is the base camp for stigmatizing men?

affirmative action could be a gender issue. i have done the topic and it could turn into a gender topic. yes, it is important since it deals with todays society and unfairness and what people do not understand.

this may not be a gender issue, but you could write on the effect of drugs for both male and female.

I find the United Nations correlation between promoting gender equality and empowering women with the ability to end poverty, attain world peace, and diminish the prevalence of AIDS to be a very interesting issue. They do present a compelling argument.

Write about title IX, and how it is discriminatory against males. Write about all of the centuries old institutions that were castrated as a result of it. Who wants to see women's football, for god's sake?

Gender issue? If it won't offend your teacher, write about the double standards in men and women. Women are expected to work and raise a family, but men are only expected to work. Its okay for men to sleep with tons of women, but not for women to do so. Men are expected to carry condoms, but its strange for a woman to do so. Women are expected to be skinny and always be well-maintained, but its okay for men to grow a beer gut and have stubble. Men are expected to pay for dates, even if the woman is making more money. Men are supposed to know about cars and fixing things, but its okay for women not to. See my point? In todays 'equal' society, there are still a ton of double standards!

Why is it that feminists demand 'equality', but never march on Capitol Hill demanding that women be included in the draft?
