Gender Roles Being So Alive in Filipino Households

Hey guys! This is aquuariyoursxx again with another topic to share with you all. If you'll like this blog, feel free to click thumbs up, comment your thoughts and subscribe if you haven't yet. Enjoy!

Stereotyping of gender roles have naturally died down already in the Philippines in terms of who works for the family, who stays at home, who is weak and who is strong. A lot at this point, have already accepted that men or women, they should dou anything they can and they want to help their families.

However, talking to my online friends who also lives in the Philippines, I have noticed something similar to what I'm experiencing right now. They all talk about how their family let's them do something because they're male or female. For example, the daughter in the family does the chores while the son just sits nothing because "it is what they are".

Personally, everyday is like that.

"Do this, you're a girl/boy."

"You're a girl/boy, yet you don't know how to do this."

"It's your job because you're a girl/boy."

Using our gender as a reason to everything is very wrong. Of course telling us to do household chores is not bad,it's our job after all, but telling us to do so because we're we?

So what if you're a girl and you don't cook well or clean the house? So what if you're a boy and you can't lift heavy stuffs? There's nothing wrong with that unless you're being lazy and not even moving a single inch.

Let us not let this influence our minds. We hated the idea of gender roles, I'm sure our children soon would also have the same feeling. Let's not keep gender roles for a century more and let our offsprings suffer from such limitations. Anyone is capable of anything. No matter what gender you are. Do what you're best at.
