Out of the 88 people I was going to ask my question of "Do you know how to peal an apple?" and " Which on of the sexes do you think knows how to peal an apple the most?", I only got to ask 20 people...
I know....To measure out 'who exactly knows to peal an apple the most' I need more guys and girls than that... But it is something, so I'll just type down the information that I got from these 20 peeps.
The boy's statistics...
50% know how to peal an apple.
Only one said that the male population knew how to peal an apple the most.
The girl's statistics...
80% knows how to peal an apple.
100% said that the female population knew how to peal an apple the most.
In the end, I think it's pretty obvious who we think peals an apple the most, although 50% of the guys whom I asked actually did know how to (Which sincerely surprised me, sorry boys...)
Now, the question that we have all been waiting for. Why is this so important???
Answer~! Because, dear peeps, this shows how women still today are looked down upon to house chores and taking care of the family. Instead of thinking that women go to work to discover the cure of cancer, society still thinks that women practice on how to peal a freaking apple. Maybe it's because your mom bakes apple pies and you see her pealing apples, or maybe when you were sicky your grandma pealed you an apple so you would choke on the skin of it, I don't know, but apparently we still belong in the kitchen or taking care of sick children.
It's not like being caring and nice is a bad thing, what would be do without our mother being there when we need her the most? I don't know how we are going to change this universal mentality, but at least most people know about the argument that women do not belong in their homes, but outside doing their what they want and still taking care of their families like dads do, and that's a start to a more equal world :D
Anyways, I did this to prove to my mom that girls know how to peal apples more than guys, so, Hah!! I win mother, dear! Muahahahahahahaha!
So can men do whatever they want? Are they not allowed to take care of their families? My mother didn't have a single maternal bone in her body, so my dad raised my five siblings and me. The roles can be reversed.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think everyone has the right to do whatever they want. Most fathers are the main source of economy for their family, that shows how much they care for them. I may have been too aggressive and inconsiderate,fathers do work as hard as mothers, but most not at home ( I'm stereotyping. I know I shouldn't.) But yes, you are right, the roles can be reversed.
DeleteI didn't mean to sound so harsh. Haha. I did like your post though, and that you did research and surveys and all of that. It was well thought out. :)
DeleteThis is a fantaistic point, and I love the way you communicated it. Taking a survey is a great idea. This does prove the point that women are thought of as the ones who know more about domestic chores. The best system, in my opinion, is a balanced one where the man and woman switch off roles. They both earn wages and they both manage the household.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with switching off roles, besides, if you don't know how to peel an apple, you should learn! Its the same as if your stuck alone! A girl should be able to support herself with a job and bring in income and boys should be able to cook so they don't waste a lot of money going out to eat! What's sad is how prevalent this domestic stereotype is in our culture. I say bachelor and automaticly think of a messy living space. Both bringing in income and doing chores are nessesary and people should know how to do both!
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea and interesting approach. I think you did a nice job expressing yourself in your own way! *PEEL
