30. Who Does More at Home: Men or Women?

                For a while now, women’s roles in society have been growing.  Slowly, women have been able to partake most jobs that men have outside of home.  Women to do not feel confined to raising kids and cleaning their kitchen because now they share many responsibilities with men outside of their home.  But what about at home?  Have men stepped up to take the role as a stay at home dads while the moms head off to work?  Studies show that even though men have upped their role with raising kids at home, women still do most of the work.  From cleaning to taking care of toddlers, women seem to have a different mentality on the home situation than men.

                The purpose of this article, written by Belinda Luscombe, was to show how men and women’s roles in society are a lot the same on the work field, but still really different at home.  She uses a clever hook, presenting her own idea, and then knocking it over, “Leadership, a recurring theme is the revolution at home. Or lack thereof.”   It is evident that Luscombe has studied her subject, it is apparent in the research that she noted early on and used as a basis throughout the article.  She presents interesting facts as well as supportive statistics ranging from the 60s to the present.  One weak side of her article is its length.  It is short, and though it does state enough seeming evidence to support it, it seems as if it could use just a little more depth.  Overall, though, it is an interesting article worth reading.
