The HIS and HER!

The His and Her!

When the dawn breaks the sleepy darkness,

She grabs the pot near the earthen hearth,

While the handle of tools touches his tanned hands.

Her hands get coated with the black residue of the pots,

While his legs get dirtied with the muddy field.

She warms up the kitchen with the flame of fire,

When the field around him get lightens by the rising sun.

When the rays of the sun hit the land,

She nourishes the hungry mouths,

While he instructs the blueprint for the day.

She packs the lunch in a delicate leaf,

While he brushes up the blades.

Then he goes away only to sweats in the blazing sun,

While she perspires by the fiery furnace.

When the dusk gradually pushes away the day,

She tidies up to prepare and offer supper to the family,

While he steps in with a bag filled with kinds of stuff.

She pours down the liquor she brewed,

While he sips in driving away from the tiredness of the day.

Then, she slumbers soundly in his arms of security and protection,

While he ponders on the matters of his family.

Well, the aforementioned lines are a brief yet simple description of daily typical gender roles that exist in a traditional family structure. 

We argue that gender roles are one of the sources of gender inequality and in the modern liberal system of society, the roles between genders have become not limited, but very pervasive. In doing so, the power dynamics in the family are slowly getting changed which challenges the traditional patriarchal structure. However, from one's own perspective, the differentiated gender roles are a source of efficiency and peace in the family. The gender inequality cannot be a problem in the family if both the spouse respect and value each other's love and care.
