Word count: 350

1. Make a list of chores in the home based on tasks stereotypically associated with each gender role. For example begin by listing Mom's Chores/Dad's Chores as follows:

Mom's chores: cooking, cleaning, etc.

Dad's chores: Mowing lawn, fixing the car, etc.

2. After you have finished both lists - which list is longer? Why?

3. In your opinion, what types of pressure does this labor inequality place on the marriage or relationship?

4. Women now represent half of the workforce - with two-job marriages now making up two-thirds of all marriages with children. Could this additional pressure on women to work a paid shift, then come home to work a second (unpaid) shift lead to divorce or unhappiness?

5. What did you learn about gender roles and domestic labor from your own childhood and, if you choose to have children, what will you teach them about gender roles and domestic labor?”

6. What, in your opinion, would be needed to begin to balance the amount of work people do in the home and create substantive gender equity?
