    Cultural factors that affect the division of labour are aspects like lagged adaptation. Jonathan Gershuny said wives who are in paid work do less housework (men do 27%), but the tasks are still sex-typed: men focus on DIY where as women cook. His explanation was there are gradual changes in values- known as lagged adaptation, and that over time parental role models will show children that men do housework too.…

    One disadvantage of being a house slave for women was their vulnerability to the master. The master would sexually abuse the slaves as he wished and there was nothing the slave could do about it. Also the house slaves had to deal with the fact that no matter how much better they were treated, they were still slaves and had to live a life of servitude. Moreover, working in the house, there is more supervision than working in the field. On a field there are hundreds of workers to one overseer, wherein the house there are a few slaves versus the slave owner’s entire household, which could include extended family.…

    The house was just another job for women; they just were not receiving pay for the work they complete. Women often follow after the lead of their husbands during marriage. During World War II, things changed significantly while men were off at war women began working outside of the home. If you’ve noticed women are usually hired for certain jobs since they usually are considered caregivers; the jobs usually are teachers, secretaries, and nurses. This is considered to be gender stereotyping for women since they normally only hold these positions in the workforce. During the colonial times, women were not allowed to do stuff independently from their husbands. Today, women are just as likely to become doctors and engineers just as if as they are to become secretaries and nurses. Discrimination against woman establishes itself in many different ways. The number of women who hold jobs in the workforce has increased significantly through the years. Even though women are now moving up in the work environment, they are still lacking equal rights that men have because of sex and race. This will affect promotions, hiring, and pay in the work force. In the past, women did not…

    Second Shift

    There is a gendered division of labor at home. Women are the ones who do most of the work. Sometimes I ask “how do women go to work and still do their house work?” The original response is that women today cannot simply give up their duties of mother and wife because they have gained ground outside the home. Household and child care everyday jobs still pertain to women even if she wakes early to start her 9am job and doesn't return home until 5pm. Yet, this answer is inherently problematic. The responsibilities discussed above should not mean an inequitable amount of time the woman spend on her children and family as compared to her husband. Household responsibilities should not result in less sleep than her husband and…

    Female Offenders

    The number of women incarcerated is growing at a rapid pace. This calls for a reevaluation of our correction institutions to deal with women’s involvement in crime. Increasing numbers of arrests for property crime and public order offenses are outpacing that of men. The “War on Drugs” has a big influence on why our prisons have become overcrowded in the last 25 years. Women are impacted more than ever because they are being convicted equally for drug and other offenses. Female criminal behavior has always been identified as minor compared to Male’s criminal behavior. Over the years women have made up only small part of the offender populations. There is still only a small portion of the inmate population that is female but it is increasing at a high rate. Women are participating in more violent crimes and being convicted of crimes that were historically reserved for men. The Bureau of Justice Statistics which reports a yearend report of number of females incarcerated reported that there were 26,300 females behind bars for violent crimes after the year of 2002. Violent crimes in women prisons accounted for thirty-three percent of the population. The overall female population also increased 2.9 percent from 2003 to 2004.…
