In my country, the gender roles are changing but in a slow way. We still can see women that don’t work and dedicate her whole life to satisfy the needs of her husband and children.
The majority of the laws in Chile that are about the labor rights are unfair to woman. The law doesn’t regulate that in a lot of cases and for the same job and under the same conditions, a men can make more money than a woman.
Also the woman who works can be discriminated if she is in her fertile age and is trying to get a new job, because if she get pregnant has the right of a time before the birth to rest from work and the boss is obliged to continue paying her salary and can’t fire her.
At home, most of the work is still in women hands, but we can see that in families that both parents work, this labor of cleaning, cooking or taking care of the kids is shared.
Speaking only about the cook, men can be very good in this area, even better than women if they are dedicated and have passion for it.
In Chile and in the entire world, I think that men has a easier life that women, that’s because we’re still living in a world in that all the most powerful charges belong to men, and I think that the equality between men and women it’s not possible because we are in fact different, we have different needs.
