Sitting in Class with Mrs. Kirschmann brought forth very valid points and depictions. The pictures I saw of males doing a duty that a woman would typically be known to do, like a man cleaning a house or doing chores, portrayed the usual cultural norms. Roles are flipped in this particular moment and throw off the narrative of the world, leaving most in disbelief. After this, Mrs. Kirchmann showed a female doing household duties during class. Except the pictures shown are very much true, and with a knowledgeable prediction, they can be proven. One of the photos is a mother asking, “How is the sink full again? Didn't we just wash the dishes?” I see this in the real world and have heard my mother say this like a strong,g independent woman. After long days of work, I can see it's tough to complete these tasks, and I definitely wouldn't want to do this. The other photos of sweeping the floor and taking the trash are also relatable, and these are the bare minimum that females take on as tasks. On top of the tough household roles women nowadays take on, they also have to do other activities like making food.
Women take on household and other responsibilities, however, women some of the time don't get paid for their work. This then leads to the thought of Mrs. Kirchmann and the article “Invisible Woman,” which shows that they make up a lot of the workforce. The workforce they participate in helps the world go around and benefits others around them. Women are just as important as the males, and it shows time and time again, and I'm getting the belief that they have it harder because of the cards they are given.
Some factual and massive amount of statistics including my theory that women have it hard include, “Women are more than twice as likely as men to be providing intensive on-duty care for someone twenty-four hours a day.” This quote puts women at a financial disadvantage. “61% of housework is undertaken by women.” The quote brings forth the fact that women do the things males don't always want to partake in. “Female careers also tend to receive less support than male careers so they end up feeling more isolated and being more likely to suffer from depression-in itself a risk factor for dementia.”More health risks are at stake. “Us men manage to find over an hour more spare time per day to rest than their female counterparts” Less rest is given to females as their plates are full and, in other words, they are busier. Men also get more freedom when a child is around: “The unpaid work that enables him to have kids and easily work full time in paid employment” In the UK, 42% of women compared to 11% of men work part-time.” Women getting less opportunity to make money leads to another disadvantage fact that “women make up 75% of part-time workers. All of these real-world statistics prompt the theory of Women being underappreciated and hardworking and ending with the fact that they get paid less with tons of responsibilities.
As a whole, Women are excluded from many essential areas of work. Women in today's society aren't as underappreciated as they used to be, but the world can still improve and give power and prosperity to all of them while they undergo different types of tough opportunities and tasks.
