Gender roles have always played an essential part in an individual's life and can influence what we think the meaning of the family is. As a child, I was taught that men and women had different roles in the home. It is unacceptable for people of the opposite sex to participate in activities that are not intended for them. For example, a man should not cook and a woman should not work in the garden. I want to emphasize that gender is not black and white. Gender and sex are very different but when I talk about gender roles I focus on men and women. In my traditional Hmong family, women do everything related to “home.” This means they cook, clean, take care of children and make sure guests feel welcomed. Men often find jobs to support themselves (2012). Womanizing motherhood: loving and growing the revolution. Western Journal Of Black Studies, 36(1), 57-67. The author of this article talks about “feminism,” a term used by black women. The article features Black motherhood and how mothers struggle with gender roles in their cultures. The author shows interest in this topic and explains how feminism thoroughly challenges traditional gender roles. Black women face a lot of prejudice and I find it incredibly courageous that they are making their voices heard and becoming active in the gender role movement. I really enjoyed reading this article and find it extremely helpful. I liked how the author wrote stories about black mothers who challenge the gender role systems in their cultures. I think this is important to my article because it shows that gender roles could become irrelevant one day if more people fought against them. Çelik, K., & Lüküslü, D. (2012). Highlighting a silent category of young women: the life experiences of "house girls" in Türkiye. Youth and Society, 44(1), This question is one of the examples showing how gender roles are slowly progressing towards change. If I were to ask this question again 50 years ago, I would probably get more answers for fathers and none for mothers. The next two questions are about what is expected of men and women in the family. I include the most common tasks that men and women are associated with; cooking/cleaning and earning money. 17 participants said men are expected to earn money and 14 participants said women are expected to clean/cook. My prediction was right when I said that this is the norm in traditional cultures. The last two questions asked whether participants felt superior/inferior to the opposite sex. These two questions had an effect and a cause on the family's identity. Most participants said they did not feel superior or inferior to the opposite sex. I believe that if I asked this question to participants I knew personally who grew up in an extremely strict family; I would get more “yes” than no”
