Gender Roles aren't Gender Requirements


Since the old times, there was existed unequal between gender roles until now. It seems like a disease/ virus, spread everywhere in the whole world.

Why male must work outside and earn money for their family? Why female must do all the housework and take care of their kids? There was no such as a serious rule indicated that they MUST do this! They can do what they want; they can make their own choices!


You know what? Most of the people always had that idea of male can’t do this; female can’t do that. I would like to share some example here. First is male, when they feel angry, shy, sad, or something else.. They can’t show their emotion on their face, like some female will “manja” when they want something, flat their lips when they are felling unhappy, and so on. BUT! When male do this kind of action you will heard some people or their friends will said them seem like “gay” “agua” “ponden” “girl”.. Why? They are also a human! Why they can’t show their emotion freely? That’s was NOT FAIR!  


Well.. Another example, when I was studying in secondary school, every year sure has marathon and sports festival. Of course, running is a part of it. There was so many guys will run, isn’t it? So, you will hear three types of responses. One is “WOW!! You see!! That guy was so Handsome!!!”, second type is no comment, and the last type is “Waxxx ehhh! You see that guy, run “like a girl” “agua” “geli lo”. What is that meaning of run like a GIRL?? They were just run freely.

Here, i'm going to share a video about "LIKE A GIRL"..


Otherwise, now I’m going to talk about female. WHY? Why a girl can’t sit, walk or any action freely as they want? When they were sitting, walking with the legs openly, they had been criticized as “rough” “like a boy” “tomboy”. What? They were just doing what they want and acting freely.

Besides that, some work were not greeting female, such as postman, fisherman and so on. Some company also will not accept and give a female to be the company’s CEO, just because they are a female. Even though, they have lots of abilities.

In addition, female also must take care of their kids and keep the house clean and tidy. Even though they had their own job, they still need to do that. I had asked my family and my friends why female should do this and not male? Then, the results showed me “Because THEY ARE FEMALE”. Well done! What a “perfect” answer.. Excuse me? Female is human, male also is human. They are family, so they have to work together. Take care of the children and keep the house clean TOGETHER. Not only female must do all the things.











Female can take care of their children..









Male can take care of their children too..






But the best way is TOGETHER










Seriously, I’m hoping that no more unequal between gender in the future. Just do what they want. Don’t simply criticize people. They are just acting freely and happily.
