ARE WE MOVING TOWARDS A GENDER-NEUTRAL KITCHEN?
The kitchen was always a women’s task and is still the same before it was the only kitchen that was to be managed by them but now in present times women not only manages kitchen but work with kids also. During those times women were not allowed to work outside and only told to look after the kitchen.
But now some are taking initiative and moving towards gender neutrality in many things but we can say if it is happening, then there are some still who have not changed their thoughts and keep on discriminating between male and females work or field. We are in the 21st century and people adopt western cultures in their most day to day lives but when it comes to doing some work like cooking or cleaning then they have not moved forward because they still think women should cook, clean, and look after the home.
Yes, we are moving towards the gender-neutral kitchen but I think this scenario has both sides, we are moving towards gender neutral kitchen because many are now understanding that any tasks are not gender related in fact any gender can do any tasks. But on other hand, there are still some who still being adoptive of everything but don’t accept the fact that anyone can cook and not only is women’s task.
It’s on us that what we consider each task whether its kitchen or office work or kids because there are no specificity or any rule that only women’s have to work in kitchen and men’s in office, but both can equally do the work at home and then the society will move towards a gender-neutral in each field.
