why is women's home work unpaid?
« on: December 07, 2012, 05:17:15 PM »

much of the women's home work is unpaid and un valued
and yet men's work is more in pubic arenas and highly paid.

and why should women be cheated and given less time
for leisure and for paid work they are as much gifted as men
when it comes to development in general.

Women really need to be appreciated in what they do especially those who stay at home and look after children. They really do a great job

Women's home work is paid but the problem with us, we only look at payment in monitory terms but if you look at the food we both men and women eat, that is already payment. The only thing i can agree is that, we do not appreciate the work women do

They are not respected as much and men think that the work that they do is less valuable and easily done. women's work is work and it does not matter if it is less or not, it is not fair.

If we are sit and calculate home work done you will find that men do a lot of home work especially at night and it is one of the most tiresome work yet there not also paid. We should stop complaining because both men and women indeed have enough home work.

It is by nature that women should take care of homes free of charge while men look for money. If the man intends to pay for her services it should be to appreciate not payment.

Before you talk about payments think about bride wealth, food, clothing and the shelter please think twice

There is no Home work unpaid because men do a lot in paying back to their wives. They struggle to get bride price, get food for the home and the worst of all pay with hard cash in the bedrooms. What payment do you want apart from that.

Most men think that when they pay the bride price of woman she has become his slave yet actually they also need money to sustain their lives.

Bride Price is totally incomparable to the work a woman does in a home as a house wife.What much can you pay for the labour pains ,sleepless nights with all the young ones.
