Question -

Are the statements given alongside true or false? Support your answer with the use of an example –

(a) All societies do not think similarly about the roles that boys and girls play
(b) Our society does not make a distinction between boys and girls when they are growing up
(c) Women who stay at home do not work
(d) The work that women do is less valued



Answer -

(a) True. More importance is given to the work done by boys instead of the ones done by girls.

(b) False. Right from the outset of their growing phase, our society makes it a point to distinguish between boys and girls. From an early age, boys are taught to be tough and serious while girls are taught to be coy and soft. Toys like guns and cars are given for boys to play, while girls will be given dolls.

(c)False. A woman who stays at home does housework. A lot of it. They wash clothes, sweep, clean, cook food and pretty much keep the entire house in order.

(d) True. Despite the fact that women do a lot of work, their work goes undervalued. Part of the reason why is that because there is no monetary value attached to it, there is social conditioning that household work comes naturally to women and that it is expected of them.
