OR Blog #33: Today, I read an article from Culturegrams called "Family". In this article it talks about how the father is the head of the household. This fits into the blog topic for today because it's saying that the male in the family is the head of the household and that's talking about both gender and gender roles. In this article it also says that women are responsible for the children and household. That's another gender role. This article is similar to the book we finished reading in class last week because Nathan was the head of their household. Also, it seems that once the man of the household leaves (dies or actually leaves) the women is kind  of stuck. I feel like that kind of thing shouldn't happen. If the man leaves then the women should be able to keep her life going by herself. That was my blog for gender and gender roles.
