It’s Time to Equalize Authority

 

To some extent now people are considering that gender equality is important, women are realizing that they can work with men in each field. 

 

Apart from letting women go to work does not mean equality.

 

Do You Think That It Is Equality???

 

 

Do you think giving permission means equality???

Allowing someone means that you are in the position of authority, to control and that is not equality.

Equality means "the state of being equal." So permitting your wife or sister to work doesn’t count in equality, they have all the right to decide that either they want to work or not.

 

Have you ever thought after giving permission women on work almost all the time thinks about home, that they need to perform household chores after this tiring day, not only that they need to take care of children about their studies, homework of school, their meal, etc.

 

Don’t you think dividing responsibilities will help her to relax and get some time to her as well?

If a man will help in little house chores, the work will be divided.

 

I have seen boys doing household chores, this depends on the upbringing of a child; what a child sees in their life he/she follows that. For example, if you act something in front of a child they will imitate you. Imitation allows them to practice everyday life skills and ultimately begin gender roles. When they learn to say, they acquire not just vocabulary through repetition but also popular phrases.

                                                   

 

Social learning science teaches us that children’s development happens through observation and imitation. 

 

Andrea, YWCA Legal Educator says: “Find everyday opportunities to walk your talk. I raised my kids in a household where we always use gender-neutral pronouns; I took my kids to the Pride Parade and bought them each a t-shirt that said, ‘Don’t Assume I’m Straight!’—do what you do every day and let your kids see you doing it.”

This is just an example that how you can up neutrally brings your child. Ask your kid (girl or boy) to pick their dishes to sink after eating, clean their room, clean your mess after every activity. 

 

Acknowledge the parenting power of fathers:

 

 Break the biological determinism that says parent women and men are work. Dads of today come in many forms: single or married; externally employed or stayed at home; homosexual or straight; adoptive or step-parent. What we already believe is that the love of dads and greater engagement with the family tend to facilitate the social and emotional wellbeing of babies.

 

Peter, YWCA Career Advisor says: “I teach my boys by modeling my behavior. Whether it’s self-care, my relationship with [my wife], or with other people, with the planet or with our community. I hope that it rubs off on them.”

Teach them that gender is fluid:

Gender is one of the first social group's kids are conscious of. They had developed their gender identities by the time they are 3 years old. Too much of what restricts boys and girls is embedded in socially formed beliefs of what you are or are not supposed to do within your class. Let your kids take the lead and perceive their gender as fluidly as they want.

Teach them emotional intelligence:

Emotional intelligence is the capacity to be conscious of, control, and express one’s feelings, according to Psychology Today. Children with high rates of EQ are empathic, engaged, and caring adults who love and support others.

 

Consider gender stereotypes when selecting books, toys, and clothes:

They can sound harmless but books and games are devices that help our children socialize. Providing your children with a wide range of books and toys teach them that when it comes to their potential, the sky is the limit.

 

                                               

People mix sexuality and gender. Based on sexuality roles should not be defined. However gender decides roles and strength, strength should be divide equally within men and women. Careers are divided by strength as some careers have more ratio of women example nursing or some careers have a more male ratio. But when it comes to household chores why the responsibilities are only on women, we should also divide that because both work hard and both work equally. Don’t say that she is a girl so she needs to do household chores, sexuality does not define what a person needs to do.
