In many countries nowadays,more and more women have full-time jobs as men,so there is logic men and women should share the housework tasks equally(like cleaning and looking after children).To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Housekeeping responsibilities are now shared between
men
and women
in many countries because both
have full-time
jobs. I strongly agree with this
statement and will explain the reasons in the following paragraphs.
On the one hand, in a household where both
men
and women
need to work, everyone is tired after work. If household duties, such
as cleaning or caring for children, can be shared by both
, women
will feel they are treated equally and feel that men
can stand in their shoes, making them feel respected and valued, which can give them a strong sense of belonging. This
can also
contribute to a better relationship and make them more willing to work with men
to solve family problems, enhancing family cohesion. For example
, if housework were done solely by women
, they would not be able to bear the burden of both
their jobs and their families, which could lead to divorce.
On the other hand
, sharing housework tasks can help both
wife and husband pursue their careers according to
their wishes and may even break the career ceiling, especially for wives. In the past, women
had many restrictions in the workplace. If they spent too much time
on family issues, they would feel guilty. However
, if they spend too much time
doing their jobs, they will suffer maternal guilt or will be judged by society, making it impossible for them to develop their careers. Males are similar to females. They have many pressures and responsibilities to make money for the family, so they cannot spend time
with family members, which would reduce cohesion in a family. Therefore
, if housework can be shared, both
women
and men
will have more time
to spend with their families and be better off for their mental and physical well-being.
In conclusion, based on the above evidence and analysis, an equal distribution of household chores can not only enhance family cohesion but also
enable family members to have better career development.Submitted by wly_yanwang on
