Post # 7 Gender Stereotyping


"I don't know what it is about food your mother makes for you, especially when it's something that anyone can make - pancakes, meat loaf, tuna salad - but it carries a certain taste of memory” by Mitch Albom. Like what Mitch said, in the Chinese culture, woman or mom is the one who do everything at home such as cooking, taking care of the kids, and do laundry. I think it might still happens in the American culture as well. Although my dad cooks sometimes at home, but he will never do laundry at home. I think this is a idea spread all over the Chinese culture thousands of year ago, that the woman should take care of the house. I think is even worse nowadays because woman does double job now, because they have to go to work and when they go home they need to cook, take care of the kids and do all the house chores. like what it said on the ad "tough detergent for tough moms" It is indeed that moms are tough on the inside and outside. But on the other hand I still  think it would be better if husbands and wives should divided the job in the house equally instead.
