GENDER INEQUALITY PPS1-9

        House chores are a task as a daily routine that should be done almost everyday at home to get harmony in the house. As we know, house chores is usually done by women. However, it does not mean that men can avoid the responsibility of doing house chores. This is because both women and men need to work together in doing house chores to keep the house clean. Most people especially men think that house chores is only a women’s job. I believe that men should be involved in doing house chores.       Men should be involved in doing house chores because there are some house chores that women can’t do alone and need help from men. Heavy house chores done alone by women might harm them that’s why they need help and supervision from men to avoid unwanted things.  For example, throwing out large garbage and wiping the ceiling fan. This shows that women need help from men to do house chores even if it is an easy job. Men should help in doing house chor...

  The Demons Nightmare - by Nur Syazlianah My body was covered with sticky sweat that was dripping down my forehead . I woke up from a deep sleep. I swear that was the worst nightmare that I ever had. I said “That was the biggest fear in every mother’s life”. My divorce and custody battle was a nightmare. I’m thankful enough and was hoping this will never happen in my real life although this social inequality has happened many times from what I saw. After nine months of waiting patiently, my pure and clean son was finally born. It was a slightly touchy and pleasant moment for me who gives birth. All the pain endured disappears when I stroke the soft of the baby's head and hear the beauty of the baby's crying. From that time, I promised to sacrifice life and property for the happiness of my son who is the greatest and priceless gift in my life.Unfortunately the beautiful and happy moment didn't last long.   We got divorced and my husband demanded for child custody. My feeli...

       Gender inequality really exists even in schools. It doesn't matter if you’re a boy or a girl it occurs in both genders because I had experienced it when I was in highschool. I was an independent and hardworking student who always dreamed to be the school president but everything crumbled down after one incident.      It was the early year of 2019 where everyone was busy voting for school president. I was excited because I planned to be a school president that year. I was in the classroom getting ready for my speech before the voting session began. Meanwhile, my best friend Lisa told me to hurry up because it was almost my turn to give the voting speech.

The tension’s getting higher and higher. The moment I stepped up to the ...

       This is not a simple matter. In the context of Malaysia, a study on the role of the husband in the household is still less carried out. Who should do the household chores? It is a husband or a wife? I believe that house chores should be done together.      Those in favor of house chores should be done together. This is said because even though the wife does housework, she also wants her husband to help manage the household. However, there have been studies on the husband's involvement in household chores. According to Zuraini, et.al (2016) against 10 husbands around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor found that husbands are more open to helping their wives do household chores. For instance based on Zuraini Jamil, et.al (2016)   when their wife is working outside, usually the husband better understand the working wife for having helped lighten the family's economic burden. So that it can lighten the family's burden.      On the ...

            Have you ever wondered why gender discrimination occured in families? Family is a place that gives us happiness, but not all family members can feel it. When a daughter is treated differently than a son, they feel neglected and isolated. This action can affect mental health, ruin children's lives, and limit the freedom of daughters.  Various ways in which parents treat their children may result in mental abuse. Being treated as a slave, the daughter is usually asked to do all the house chores while the son can rest at home. Women will suffer from mental abuse if this mindset is not eradicated from people's minds. Mental abuse keeps increasing through the years, and most of them had commit suicide. The National Library of Medicine in Malaysia said that the number of patients increased from 28.5 million to 32.6 million from 2010 to 2020. In order to reduce this figure, people should bear in mind that they need to treat every gender equal...

       16-year-old Junhan has always desired to be a cheerleader and be a part of the school's cheerleading squad. He has been bullied since he was a youngster and has been accused of being gay for his soft behaviour and desire to join the cheerleading squad. Junhan, however, didn't give a damn about them and did everything in his power to make the team by passing the selection.      He gave it his all on the day of selection, but regrettably he was not chosen since he lacks the qualifications to be a cheerleader. Junhan went home and sobbed in his chamber, "My dreams are destroyed." When she entered his room, she asked him, "Why are you crying? You're already sixteen. After telling his mother everything, Junhan's parents suggested that he take a gymnastics lesson. “Doing so will make you better”, they said. He gave his folks a bear hug right after.      Over the course of two years, Junhan improved steadily as a ...

            The more I grow up, the more I understand the pain of missing someone that has gone from this cruel world. My world started to shine whenever he came into my life, saving me from the black shadow that covered my body. Time flies but I know he was miles away from me, the darkest and worst place that I don’t even know where it is. Every day I pray for him and I’m very grateful b ecause God lend me a good guy even for a while. He’s a very patient, caring and understanding guy that is willing to take care of me, and lend me his ears and shoulders to cry on whenever I feel like I wanna end my breath in one second.   “Stay alive for me”.  His last message keeps running in my mind whenever I feel like I wanna give up in my life.  It began when my mom sacrificed her one and only life just to give birth to a pair of handsome twins that don't value anything to me. I tried to love them but they are the causes of wh...

  If there was no contribution from her regarding the problem of gender inequality in culture, then it is possible that the dignity of women would be looked down upon until today. Amanda, a woman who has great courage in fighting for her rights in representing women's voices in the area where she lives. Since she was a child, Amanda felt the old belief was no longer suitable to be practiced. During her youth, Amanda was actively involved in community activities from an early age.

However, Amanda's life began to change from happy to miserable after she successfully graduated from university due...

Gender inequality in culture is a problem that cannot be taken lightly by humans. This is because, this problem has appeared for a long time and it is not a new problem. Gender inequality in culture refers to differences in the treatment, public recognition or status of cultural norms, practices, symbols and customs of different gender groups. This problem can occur due to several factors such as racial problems, old beliefs and politics. The first factor that contributes to this problem is racism. Gender inequality and racial aspects will be related if there are countries with racial diversity such as in Malaysia, America and so on. When there is racial diversity in a place, it inevitably leads to different beliefs and ideologies according to individuals. The bad effect if this problem is not managed well is that there will be many problems such as fights that are deliberately caused and then cause the problem of gender inequality in culture.

Many people don’t know how awful gender inequality is. People may think that it is being handled but it is not. Women don’t have as many rights as a man and just because of that women are not treated well, denied their human rights, and valued less because of their sex. I believe that man should respect their wife because woman deserve to be treated well like a human being and their opinion is valuable. In marriage, a women’s role is to be a servant to her husband. From the past to the present, women continue to be house slaves to their husbands. They have to cook, clean, and stay home to take care of everything within the house. They had no freedom in selecting how they wanted their life to be. While men did not care about her rights because they grew up with a mindset that they controlled everything and their wives were to be obedient. A husband should be involved in doing house chores because women deserve to be treated like a queen. Yes, God has assigned the man to be the leade...
