What I learnt from my parents is that everybody needs to work in the house. More than equality, equity. We should help with things we can do. In my case, my parents are not together, but I remember that when I was a child, my dad went to work and I stayed with my mom in the house. She took care of me (because I was an only child) and she sometimes, among with a cleaning lady, took care of the house. But, if my dad was there, he would have helped without a doubt. Both of them had things to do in an equity way. Anyone did more than anyone, and I thing that's great because it's not the case in some houses and that's a mistake some people commit. And that's what I learnt from my parents, not only by hearing what they had to say, but also because I saw this in action.

Gender inequality starts in the home | Matshepo Msibi | TEDxLytteltonWomen

My parents think that gender inequality in households is still occuring. That the pandemic affected many woman's life and increased the number of this phenomenon. Both of my parents grew up by traditional families, which have a way of thinking that states that man and woman should put their part for the family. My parents don't think there's any problem if a man stays in the house doing chores or if a woman goes out to work.

Introduce the idea of a shared responsibility: Children absorb everything they see from their parents. If children see an inequality in the housework, they will start to normalize that one side works way more than the other and they will grow with that mind, but if we teach them that the work needs to be done fairly, it will be easier for them to have justice at home.

Proposed Actions, (Solutions):

Ensure children learn how to work with their opposite gender: it is fundamental that boys and girls relate and collaborate to each other, because in the future, businesses will be more inclusive, and professional projects will contain women and men as employees. This can help future generations to know how to treat different personalities.

Sometimes men view women as a household manager.

It isn’t genetic, it’s our society.

“Planning and organizing things is already a full-time job.” (Emma Clit, 2017. "You should've asked".)

Women are often seen just as mothers and wives and men like heroes.

“Women are still devoting 25 times more hours to chore than men.” (Emma Clit, 2017. "You should've asked".)

It is important to raise our children as far away as possible from stereotypes.

# data[].attributes.body
My parents consider that what's best for a household is that everyone adds their grain of salt in different ways. And that if my mom wanted to work, she could, but she feels like her job right now is at home with her kids. But when my parents were just married and my dad was still studying she worked and supported them for three years, and my dad was never bothered by that, but grateful. Sadly, more often than not, they've seen their own friends acting irrational towards their spouse because they didn't do what they "expected" based on their gender role. They tried to raise us without any of these stigmas, although sometimes they do slip up themselves, they make sure there are is no permanent way to do things.

It is important to remember that children mimic what they see in their homes, which is why the first step to take is showing the behaviour you expect to see from your kids. Show them how boys should learn how to cook and clean and how girls ought to know how to repair a car too, let’s try not to gender household chores nor toys, TV shows, or any sort of entertainment.

# data[].attributes.body
Most men don’t take their share on mental load, just doing as instructed and not clearing the things that should be cleaned/not taken care of since they weren’t asked.

The way our society shoves stereotypes and agendas down our throat since  an early age is a big influence.

The media we consume is another example, we rarely see heroines in the media.

The way we are raised is also a big influence on how we develop as homeowners.

While nowadays it isn’t rare to see more women working, they still remain in charge of the house management.

It is crucial to have an avid conversation with your partner when it comes to chores, because he might think he’s doing a lot but it turns out there’s much more he could be helping with.

(Emma Clit, 2017. "You should've asked".)

Facts about gender roles in the house:

"Men are more likely than ever to embrace the idea of gender equality, but when it comes to the home front, traditional values dominate." (Francesca Donner, 2020. The Household Work Men and Women Do, and Why).

This is seen as normal in some parts of the world.

This has been practiced since ancient times, so it is difficult for many people to change their minds.

For most women, this challenge is nothing new. Despite the fact that women outnumber men in the paid workforce, women still do more of the domestic work and childcare almost twice as much as their male partners.

Many men teleworking from home for the first time are getting a front row seat to the daily demands of running a home and caring for kids, as well as a crash course in learning to “balance” work and family. (David G. Smith and W. Brad Johnson, 2020. Gender Equity Starts in the Home).

How Long Will Economic Gender Equality Take

Today is International Women's Day, a global commemoration of the struggle for women's rights. In the wake of countless rallies over the past year coupled with massive support for the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, this year's event is set to be one of the most poignant in recent memory. The theme this time around is a push for global gender parity which is being called #PressforProgress.

Despite the steps taken over the past year, there is still a huge amount of work to do when it comes to achieving gender parity. Ipsos MORI released a study to coincide with International Women's Day which focuses on the level of concern across 27 countries regarding equality.

Respondents were asked how many years they thought it would take for men and women to achieve economic gender equality and the results are mindblowing. People in China, Italy, South Korea, Spain and Turkey all think economic gender equality will be achieved in 30 years. In actual fact, it will take 217 years, according to Ipsos MORI.

My parents think that anyone could do the housework and help, because it shouldn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman, you should speak with your partner and come up with an agreement you both like. Maybe one of you wants to work and the other wants to work from home and you agree to it, or both of you would like to work and decide to employ someone to do the cleaning. As long as you’re both happy and comfortable with your agreement it shouldn’t matter which of you works and which works from home.
