Document Summary
Women are still by choice, coercion, or otherwise, being the traditional role of homemaker, even when working outside the home. Presumptions of women"s and men"s work: presumption that persists about dimensions of women and men"s work in regards to the home. Women are doing more now, and maybe believe they are free and equal, even though circumstance do not demonstrate this as true. With labour: still something that draws women to nursing, retail, fashion, making food, significant gender divide here. All same divisions that used to persist still exist. With housework: majority of domestic work still done by women. We are workers and housewives both now addition of roles. All work of feminism has not seemingly changed the amount of work women are still doing in homes throughout ontario. What needs to be done in a home, and what is unnecessary. Caring about domestic tasks, is it a sign of sexist oppression: sign of continued sexism, offers interesting complexities.
