Question

Housework is meant for women. Do you agree? Support your answer with explanation.

Answer 1

In the Indian society, a woman is seen as a housewife, cook, mother, sister and a daughter who is given the responsibility to take care of her family, husband and children. She is given a lower status in society as compared to her male counterpart. A woman is also expected to be good at handling family affairs and not go out of her house for any other work. She is not even paid anything for doing all the household tasks rather she is also expected to stay economically dependant

In my opinion, a woman is equally good in all aspects of life, be it family or office. She can effectively handle all the pressure that comes with managing family with office work. She must be given equal opportunity for her own growth, which will , in turn, help in the development of society all together.

A man should not engage himself only in office, he should also participate in the household work to better appreciate the challenges faced by a woman and move towards equal division of work. This would also enable him to appreciate the dignity and importance of all kinds of work.
