In addition, students will identify how gender messages can lead to experiences of privilege, oppression, or marginalization. This activity is best suited for counseling graduate students and counseling interns. It will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. However, the required time to complete the activity can be altered to accommodate the group size. Each participant will need paper and a writing utensil, such as a pencil or pen, to complete the activity. Students will gain an understanding of how the gender messages provided moments of privilege, marginalization, or oppression in their lives.
