Question

In your experience, how do we define the roles of men and women? Are these roles helpful,

or are they limiting? What are the possibilities and problems that can come with rejecting
these roles? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or
history in your answer.

Answer 1

Roles of women: house work (cleaning), raising children, sewing, babysitting, shopping at grocery stores for items for meal preparation.

Roles of men: A steady income, college educated, getting women pregnant and having a large family with at least two boys.

Explanation: The possibilities of having the above mentioned done would be that you can have multiple grandchildren in the many decades down the road, a way to make things to go in your house rather than hiring people to come in a decorate your home, you have an outlet from your husbands or wives job by bouncing in between jobs (wife/husband), having the ability to carry on the family name which in certain cultures are socially acceptable, and that when you are college educated you become a more well rounded individual in society.

My only two cites that I can give to the above mentioned would be this:

1.) My life is similar to this as I am a high school student trying to get to college to get a degree in the arts and....

2.) The movie "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood"
