Lets analyze your question first. What shall you do if you wanted to illustrate whether gender equality is a myth or reality? obviously you will need proofs for that. They will form the crux of your essay. Whatever you offer as a proof, that shall have a reason as well. So obviously you need to furnish a cause as well.

In Essays where your opinions are sought for, please try to answer questions like this:
-What is this issue?
-why is it like this?
-what can be done to undo this or improve upon it
-who will do it?

in essence, it needs to be: Effect --> which must have a cause --> and there must be a remedy for that cause.

Thus if we talk about Equality:

Define Equality -> What is the current position? --> Why is it so (reasons) -> What can be done to undo it (suggestions) --> additionally who will do it

Thus the outline becomes:

-Defining Gender
-Defining Equality
-What is the difference between a sex and gender?
-What is gender equality position/situation globally?
-Why is it so?

So you see, in this Why section, you will basically take a position. Whether you agree or disagree, this is the section where you can provide your evidences.

-How can and who will improve it?
Based on your evidences, you would suggest some measures that can either improve the situation or undo the inequality

Conclusion


The same will apply to almost all the essays if they ask for an opinion etc.
-Energy Crisis
-State of Education
-Industrial Policy
-International Relations
-Social issues
