For my Psychology of Gender class, I am supposed to violate a gender role for a day, and write about the reactions I received, and I am having trouble coming up with a good idea of what i should do. Were I male, I think the task would be easier, needing only to paint my nails or wear lipstick, but being a girl, I am hard pressed to think of something that would actually spark some sort of response from people I meet on the street. So, my request of you, is to help me think of some good female gender roles I can violate in order to obtain a good reaction. Thanks!

Wear a suit for a day and see what happens. Or try out for a male sports team like basketball or football or a male part in a play. Or join something like auto shop for the day.

This is a hard one; Try cross dressing and going into a men's restroom. Or applying for a job at a construction site.

Oh my gosh, I think I love your psych instructor, lol!! Excellent, excellent task to have been assigned. I LOVE challenging the status quo. Here's a very simple suggestion:
Give a directive to several males you may come across today. Men do NOT like taking orders from females.

You could always go around scratching/adjusting yourself in public....
