Teach your sons that cooking and cleaning are basic life skills not gender roles. 🙂

This is a screenshot of a Facebook post from the public group "HOOD THOUGHTS" and its top upvoted reply. The original post by user Lilly Baby states "Teach your sons that cooking and cleaning are basic life skills not gender roles." accompanied by a smiley emoji, and has 2.8k reactions and 1.2k shares. The top reply by user Robert Maczkowski mirrors the phrasing of the original post, stating "Teach your daughters mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, basic house maintenance and so on are basic life skills not gender roles" also with a smiley emoji, and has 129 likes. The core message is that anti-gender-role arguments around household chores should apply equally to all traditionally gendered tasks, for all genders, to be truly fair.
