I feel the same way.David Horta Alonso wrote: ↑18 Aug 2018, 09:29 It is surely a catalyst for all parents to share the book. Children must learn all chores from an early age.

Great question. I never thought about the gender dynamics of the book. I think it is important that boys be seen doing " girls things". In the book, this is not only cleaning but also caring for others and most importantly reading. In the USA, boys read less than girls on average. Therefore, it is probably a good idea for parents to have books like this one to help crush unhealthy gender roles.Bookmermaid wrote: ↑01 Jul 2018, 03:14 Do you think Toni's participating in what was traditionally strictly girls' chores in many cultures be a deterrent or a catalyst for either a father or mother to share this book with his or her boy child ?

yeah this book is not just a book but it holds some super moralities which should have to be made known to young offsprings... Nice one.Helen_Combe wrote: ↑01 Jul 2018, 03:56It’s an interesting question. In the West, such distinctions are being broken down all the time. We now have female fire fighters and male nurses. I would hope that in other cultures, this book will be a catalyst.Bookmermaid wrote: ↑01 Jul 2018, 03:14 Do you think Toni's participating in what was traditionally strictly girls' chores in many cultures be a deterrent or a catalyst for either a father or mother to share this book with his or her boy child ?

As for young boys, I don't think young boys would mind seeing Toni doing chores but they might complain there is no action at all in the book. They might also complain that there is no mention of superpowers, and they might also complain that there are no scenes that show Toni fighting crime. I'm a woman and even I was disappointed that I never saw any superpowers or action in the book.

Boys and Girls are equal we can do the same if we want to,in our family our parents teach us to do house hold chores because they believe that we have to be responsible specially when we are going to get married in the future i also believe that it works..

Hi Aisha,Aisha Nelofer wrote: ↑01 Jul 2018, 03:24 Actually there was no work designed to be done only by a girls. Girls are printing their footprints in all walks of life. They are also working nowadays which was traditionally boy's chores. Nothing is permanent except a change.
Good thought! I agree.
When both spouses are working, many couples today are negotiating and sharing the housework.

Maybe if it isn't relatable to boys or young men then maybe that will be something they realize they don't know how to do and address it?
