A warm welcome to all reading my blog post.
You guys might think reading the topic that what we will talk about today?
I was wondering what to write as I have little bit of content wandering in my mind. So, I decided to write about this
So Let's start...
Now, Many of you reading this post knows about how our society standardizes their opinion on things which are carried out later from generation to generation.
Yes, you heard it correctly I am talking about our society and its standardization of opinions on things such as education, household chores, and so on.,
For ages what used to happen was people used to teach their daughter household chores instead of sending them to schools to learn and send their boys to school for studying. Girls were trained in household chores and very rare circumstances were found to be going to school to gain any educational qualification. On the other hand, boys were sent to school to gain an educational qualification and later used that qualification to possess a job. So, eventually, with time this became a concept that "girls are supposed to do household chores while boys are supposed to get qualified".
Now, this gained sight and became an ancestral scenario that is passed on from one generation to another. This scenario played a percentage contribution in the patriarchal society and this became the hype and was standardized in the form of "Girls are responsible for doing household chores".
In the 21st Century what's happening is as this concept is being bragged for so long now that it's been imprinted in people's minds. Now when it comes to doing household work many men out there feel ashamed and I just don't get to know that what is to be ashamed of.
I heard a group of men saying that we don't know how to cook, these works are of females(the work includes cooking, washing dishes, cleaning the house, etc) and the next thought which strikes in my mind is why is this only the work of females? don't men eat? or don't they stay in the house?
If a man says he doesn't know how to cook and feels proud of himself and the next comment he gets is it is okay not to know cooking as this is not a part of his job. On the contrary, if a woman who works in any organization says the same at that time the whole society will start pointing fingers at her that why she doesn't know these things which are so basic for survival.
My question here is if these are basic things then everyone irrespective of their gender should know them for their survival and they shouldn't be afraid of learning them if they don't know these things.
I have also heard from some women that men shouldn't do household works as it is not their job.
So, who is sitting here to decide what each gender should and shouldn't do?
Everyone should open up their minds and start thinking practically that a man doing household work is not something to be ashamed of and also it's a basic duty irrespective of gender to perform daily.
Helping your mother, sister, wife, daughter with household chores or doing it by yourself is nothing to be ashamed of. Instead, it's a great way to explore things and create memories too.
So, everyone should teach their children how to cook, wash clothes and utensils, clean house and so on, As these are the basic things which are essential for survival.
Thank you one and all for contributing your time towards reading my blog.
