#6 - Gender Roles



 What do you think about stay at home mothers?
   I think it's usual style of family but not absolute. My mother works and doesn't stay at home in the daytime. My aunt and my mother's friends are also work. My grandmother didn't stay at home too. Mother should work if she want to do.

 What do you think about stay at home fathers?
   In my opinion, it's not strange that father stays at home. If there is an agreement between the mother and the father, he doesn't have to work or work outside.

 Is it typical for men to be teachers in your country?
   It's not typical in my country. There are male teachers and female teachers in Japan. I think there are no differences, but I have impressions like P.E. teachers are male, science teachers are male or home economics teachers are female.

Someone is talking about their doctor. Do you think their doctor is male or female?
   I thought the doctor is male at first. I have prejudice about doctor although I don't discriminate against female doctor.

Someone is talking about a nurse. Do you think the nurse is male or female?
   I thought the nurse is female, moreover, I imagined a uniform of nurse for women by this word. I also have prejudice about nurse.

  1. Good answers. I appreciate your honesty. Remember that "typical" means usual. So if there are both male and female teachers in Japan, then it is typical.
