This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.
Gender Division
-> form of hierarchical social division |
-> tends to be understood as natural and unchangeable |
-> However , it is not based on biology but on stereotypes and social expectations |
Gender division is seen everywhere, but is rarely recognised in the study of politics.
|
Public/Private Division
-> Boys and girls are brough tup to believe that the main responsibility of women is housework and bringing up children |
->This is reflected in the Sexual Division of Labour in most families: women do all the work inside the home such as cooking, cleaning, washing, looking after children etc. and men do all the work outside the home |
-> It is not that men cannot do housework ; they simply think that it is for women to attend to these things |
-> When such jobs are paid for men are ready to take up the job. Most tailors and cooks at hotels are men . |
Similarly its not that women dont work outside their homes |
