Germany's Sex and Gender Roles     What is it that makes up our identities?  I mean us, not only Americans but other cultures as well, the entire world.  When tracing back my family tree I learned that I am of half-German descent with a quarter French and another quarter Irish in me.  I also think it is safe to say that a majority of the population reading this is of European lineage.  I don’t say this to discriminate, only to be specific in the telling of my story.  The story I am about to recite is about humans and about one of our basic needs for survival.  Some will argue, saying that sex is not at all a basic need but let’s face it, without sex you wouldn’t be reading this intriguing article right now, and the world would be less fulfilled without the human reproduction process.      Now that I have probably scared off the more ethical readers with my dirty talk I shall proceed.  My story deals with the sex and gender roles that occur in the country of Germany.  Why did I choose to study these roles in Germany?
