Who should hold the fort?

Everyone should help, children going to school and dads working. It depends on each family, but it should not matter if the woman is the one who gives the money to the house or the man. It does not matter who takes care of the children in the afternoon, as long as the families live well. Both can work or just one of the two, we live in a time when none of those options should be frowned upon. So who should take care of the house is either or both together, it depends on their economic situation and what they prefer. I think who should hold the strong should be the whole family, as each can contribute something useful and interesting to achieve it. Children can help by fulfilling their duties at school and supporting with those who make them home and the couple that is made up of 2 people could keep the home and that the 2 of them should take the money home between the 2 should take care of the children because after all it is the same and if they are a couple it is because they are...

Interview 1: My name is Ana and I live in the United States. In our house we all have to help in the tasks since we do not have a girl from time to time a lady goes to help us but she comes every Saturday, the rest of the days each one takes care of certain things like making her own bed, cleaning her own dishes after eating, etc. My dad is the one who works in his office and my mom has a small job where he can do it from home. We have a dog but that is my sister so she takes care of putting food on it and picking up everything destroyed.

Interviews Mexico

Interview 1: I think that machismo is wrong, because both women and men have the same rights and we should respect each other equally and it is a complete lack of sanity that a man feels superior to a woman or that a man thinks he can hit a woman, because even though they believe that women are the weaker sex, it is not true that each gender has its advantages and disadvantages. With this we can help each other instead of being disrespectful, even if it were not so, there should not be violence or men towards men, women towards women or men towards women.  In my family the gender roles are like the typical stereotype, my mother is a housewife and she takes charge of cooking, taking my brothers and me to school and keeping everything clean and my dad is the one who brings money to the house to be able to pay expenses and support the family. Interview 2: I really do not like to consider myself a feminist since I do not agree with some things that they say and fight for. I didn...

Who  should  do the housework? We think that stereotypes should be broken. There is nothing wrong with a man washing dishes after dinner or helping his wife cook. It is something that is overvalued, men can do domestic tasks and they are not necessarily bad, they look more, etc. for doing them. This is a new era where we can make big changes to attack discrimination. By respecting men that also do domestic tasks not only women, we take a big step into the future where it can be a world with equity. Why It Matters That Women Do Most of the Housework? In conclusion we thik that there's no really a biological explanation for why women end up doing more housework, so it must stem from societal forces.  At this time not only men will work also women, after a long day of work have to leave their homes and do domestic chores. Something that is not very fair that we say since nobody helps them. What we try to demystify is that we can all help in domestic tasks, not only wome...

gender roll in families

Interview 1: My family is may not be the Kardashians, but for me, they are the best family in the world. When we talk about family we think in all the members that make the main structure of our family tree, we have our cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, nephews, parents, siblings. According to traditional ideology about families, the mother must play the role of housewife and the father the man who works and provides the home needs specifically more economically. But nowadays we know that these ideas are gradually disappearing, because we are witnesses that a mother is not only made to be a housewife and take care of the children while the man works but that she can work and take care of the children or that the father can not Work and take care of the house. We also know that today the concept of family is already beyond the idea that it is mom, dad and children. Nowadays there are so many varieties of families; you can see from single mothers or single parents, childless paren...

Current situation

Gender roles and stereotypes are ideas accepted by society, in other words a kind of task or an activity that we expect a person to do according to the sex that belongs. For example, they have always taught us that men do the productive tasks which always have to be working and bring money home, and the woman plays the role of housewife who has to take care of the food, clean, take care of his children among other things from small we have been taught that girls play with dolls, use pink, they are the weakest gender, they are delicate, etc, and that boys are strong, they do not cry, brave, etc. this still exists in Mexico, since you can still find situations of machismo.
