Question

Use the picture to answer the questions:

(a) Which gender stereotype is depicted in the picture?

(b) Do you think this action is justified? Give reasons for your answer.

(c) Write ways in which this stereotype can be brought to an end.

Accepted Answer

(a) In this image, it is shown that the woman is cleaning the house while the man is sitting on the couch and not helping her. This picture depicts the gender stereotype that only women are supposed to do the household chores. Men are only required to do jobs outside and not take care of the things at home.

(b) This action of the man is not correct. Men and women are created equally. Taking care of the house is not only the women's responsibility. Men should also help her out otherwise this can burden the women.

(c) This stereotype can end by teaching our sons that taking part in the household work is also their responsibility. Men and Women should divide the work at home between themselves and set an example for their children.
