Option 1

 * Gender Studies
 * Article Evaluation
 * I like that at the bottom of the article it links to topics expanding on gender. In the introduction it says mentions that according to Sam Killermann, gender can be broken down into three categories, gender identity, gender expression, and biological sex; but in the article it doesn't cover these topics separately so I find it odd that it even mentions it. I also think it is odd that they only mention three countries thoughts and ideas behind what gender is and perceived, why only those three countries and not other ones?
