text: gender roles in different cultures? i would like to know of different gender roles (men and women) in different countries and cultures, for example: in india the bride gives the groom a dowry, or simply the man is the household provider...please post any gender roles you know of as i need them for a class project. websites would be helpful as well. thank you. see this book;  'sex and temperament in three primitive societies'  extremely informative and would be quite perfect for your study, it is quite controversial but became a major cornerstone of the womans liberation movement, since it claimed that females are dominant in the chambri tribe in  new guinea without causing any special problems.  perfect if you want a controversial and confrontationally backward look at what is considered the 'norm' and the biologically programmed ways in which men and women are to behave in society and the family  also see;  www.wic.org/bio/mmead.htm  hope i helped, websites are good, but the books are the key to the information and arguments
