What role do you think gender played in this book?

Siona said May 6, 2:43 PM:
 

My copy of Eat, Pray, Love came with discussion questions, which I'm posting here in hopes that you'll want to weigh in. :)

Gender roles come up repeatedly in Eat, Pray, Love, be it macho Italian men eating cream puffs after a home team’s soccer loss, or a young Indian’s disdain for the marriage she will be expected to embark upon at age eighteen, or the Balinese healer’s sly approach to male impotence in a society where women are assumed responsible for their childlessness. How relevant is Gilbert’s gender?
