ROLES GENDER.
Hi everybody. Today I’m going to talk about gender. It happens that I’m doing a work for university about gender too. It’s about social division of labors by gender. If you are asking yourself what is “social division labors by gender”, I can to answer your question. It means there are jobs considered only for men and there are jobs considered women’s role. For example, work in public transport, mechanical or construction it's inappropriate for a woman because it’s mostly for men. In the same way, they are works inappropriate for men.

In my opinion separation of roles is a gender construction that works like a tool of male domination. For example, when it’s said that societies are more equalitarian it’s a lie for me. Because there is a job market which is disadvantages for women, mostly of they get low salaries and poor works conditions. This is a reality that continues in force.

I think that if I knowing this reality, I couldn’t teach my children to live this way. What I will like to try is to teach them that there aren’t gender categories which must to be classified. They will be free to love and feel as they want.

When I was child my parents gave me all facilities to do what I want with my life. Unfortunately they reproduced traditional roles of what it means to be mom and dad. That is to say that my mom took care of the housework and my dad had a job. I would love see one day to my dad doing houseworks.
