Gender division is a form of hierarchical social division seen everywhere, but is rarely recognized in the sociological studies. However, it is not based on biology but on social expectations and stereotypes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Boys and girls are brought up to believe that the main responsibility of women is housework and bringing up children. This is reflected in a\u00a0<strong>sexual division of labour\u00a0<\/strong>in most families: women do all work inside the home such as cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, tailoring, looking after children, etc., and men do all the work outside the home. It is not that men cannot do housework; they simply think that it is for women to attend to these things.<strong>\u00a0When these jobs are paid for, men are ready to take up these works. Most tailors or cooks in hotels are men.<\/strong>\u00a0Similarly, it is not that women do not work outside their home. In villages, women fetch water, collect fuel and work in the fields. In urban areas, poor women work as domestic helper in middle class homes, while middle class women work in offices. In fact the majority of women do some sort of paid work in addition to domestic labour. But their work is not valued and does not get recognition.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-theme-palette-8-background-color has-background\"><p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Sex refers to the permanent and immutable biological characteristics common to individuals in all societies and cultures, while gender defines traits forged throughout the history of social relations. Gender, although it originates in objective biological divergencies, goes far beyond the physiological and biological specifics of the two sexes in terms of the roles each is expected to play. Gender differences are social constructs, inculcated on the basis of a specific society\u2019s particular perceptions of the physical differences and the assumed tastes, tendencies and capabilities of men and women. Gender differences, unlike the immutable characteristics of sex, are universally conceded in historical and comparative social analyses to be variants that are transformed over time and from one culture to the next, as societies change and evolve<mark class=\"has-inline-color has-theme-palette-4-color\">.<\/mark><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Gender relations are accordingly defined as the specific mechanisms whereby different cultures determine the functions and responsibilities of each sex. They also determine access to material resources, such as land, credit and training, and more ephemeral resources, such as power. The implications for everyday life are many, and include the division of labour, the responsibilities of family members inside and outside the home, education and opportunities for professional advancement and a voice in policy-making.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>From primitive to modern societies<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>it is found that division of labour is a universal phenomenon. Earlier, it was highly based on sex &amp; age, and today in modern times, it is based on talents.<\/strong>\u00a0If division of labour in considered a biological concept, then it will be termed as a sexual division of labour. Is it is socially and culturally derived &amp; decided, then gender based division of labour. It has been a proven fact that almost all societies have been patriarchal, that is male dominated, which means that in all kind of decision making, they (men) are playing a very important role and so it can\u2019t be denied that in the formation of division of labour i.e. who will be given what kind of role.

Their characteristics are genetically based, in particular they result from difference in male &amp; female. Their differences are due partly to genetic in inherent men\u2019s primate ancestors, partly to a genetic adoption to a way of life.<\/strong>\u00a0And in that way, male dominance is a sex-linked characteristic. They have studied hunting societies and found such experiences. They argue that male and female, adopted to a sexual division of labour in a hunting society in a different way. Compared to cultural change, genetic change is slow \u2013 thus male &amp; female biogrammar of a hunting society is in existence. Therefore, the division of labour is sex based<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>G.P. Murdock:\u00a0<\/strong>he finds\u00a0<strong>biological difference between men and women are the basis of the sexual division of labour in society<\/strong>. He says that men with their superior physical strength can better undertake the most strenuous task as mining, land clearance and house building etc. Not handicapped as in women, by the physiological burdens of pregnancy and nursing, he can take on the activities to hunt, to fish, to protest, while women can take on its activities of gathering food, cooking, washing, manufacturing clothes etc. Murdock surveyed 221 societies ranging from hunting and gathering bands to modern nation states and finds that the sexual division of labour is present in all societies in his sample.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>T. Parsons:\u00a0<\/strong>Parsons has described two important functions in isolated nuclear family:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Primary socialization of children<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Stabilization of adult personality<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-theme-palette-2-color\">For socialization to be effective, a close warmth and supportive group is essential. Parsons characterizes women\u2019s role in family as expressive.\u00a0<\/mark><\/strong>It means she provides warmth, security and emotional support to her husband as well.\u00a0<strong>Men\u2019s role is instrumental\u00a0<\/strong>which leads stress and anxiety, the expressive female relieves the tension by providing him with love, consideration and understanding.\u00a0<strong>Parsons argues that for the family to operate effectively as a social system there must be a clear cut division of labour.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>John Bowlby:\u00a0<\/strong>He has provided the explanation as Parsons. According to him,<strong>\u00a0it is essential for the mental health that the infant and young child should experience a warm, intimate and continuous relationship with his mother.<\/strong>\u00a0Bowlby\u2019s argument implies that there is a genetically based, psychological need for close and intimate mother-child relationship. It means, the division of labour is sex based.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Ann Oakley :\u00a0<\/strong>According to Oakley,\u00a0<strong>\u201cthe division of labour on basis of sex not universal, and, there is not any reason, why it should be\u201d. Human cultures are diverse and endlessly, variable. They are the creation of human inventiveness rather than invincible biological forces.\u00a0<\/strong>Since human cultures are changing, so there is a change in whole lifestyles, which eventually changes division of labour in society.\u00a0<strong>If we suppose division of labour, a fixed phenomenon, owing to its dependency in sex, then insipite of its changes in culture, the division of labour should not be liable for change, but since such change is happening. It shows the division of labour is not sex based.<\/strong><\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">While criticizing Murdock interpretation she says it is biased because he looked at other cultures through both western and male eyes. Similarly, she attacks on Parsons view, arguining that the expressive housewife\/mother role is not necessary for the functioning of the family unit. It merely exists for the convenience of male.\u00a0<strong>Therefore, she concludes that gender roles are culturally rather than biologically determined.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Biological features do not bar women from particular occupation. The role of mother is a cultural construction;\u2026<\/strong>\u2026. evidence from several societies indicates that, children do not require close, intimate and continuous relationship with a female or mother figure.\u00a0<strong>SHERRY B. ORTNER claims that it is universal devaluation of women that, and is not biology as such that ascribes women their status in society. But its way, in which every culture defines and evaluates, women\u2019s\/female biology. Thus, if this universal evaluation changed, then the basis for female subordination would be removed.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>ORTNER argues that women as universally defined are closed to nature because their physiology and its functions are more concerned with the natural process, surrounding the reproduction of species. And so they are concerned with the child care and primary socialization.<\/strong>\u00a0They develop more personal and intimate relations with others specially their children by comparison; men have wider range of contact and less personal and particular relationship by engaging in politics, warfare and religion. Thus men are seen as being more objective and less emotional. In this way, it can be said that subordination of women-nothing to do with biology as such, but rather to the cultural evaluation of their biological make up.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Sylvia Walby:<\/strong><\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>The idea of patriarchy has been central to many feminist interpretations of gender inequality and sexual division of labour. Sylvia Walby<\/strong>\u00a0is on theorist who believes that the concept of patriarchy is essential to any analysis of gender inequality. In theorizing Patriarchy (1990), Walby presents a way of understanding patriarchy that is more flexible than its predecessors. It allows room for change over historical time, and for consideration of ethnic and class differences.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>For Walby, \u2018patriarchy is a system of social structures and practices, in which men dominate, oppress and exploit women. She sees patriarchy and capitalism as distinct systems which interact in different ways sometimes harmoniously, sometimes in tension depending on historical conditions. Capitalism, she argues, has generally benefited from patriarchy through the sexual division of labour. But at other times, capitalism and patriarchy have been at odds with one another. For example, in wartime, when women have entered the labour market in great number, the interests of capitalism and patriarchy have not been aligned.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Walby identifies six structures through which patriarchy operates.\u00a0<\/strong>She recognizes that a weakness of early feminist theory was the tendency to focus on one \u2018essential\u2019 cause of women\u2019s oppression, such as male violence or women\u2019s role in reproduction. Because\u00a0<strong>Walby<\/strong>\u00a0is concerned with the depth and interconnectedness of gender inequality, she sees patriarchy as composed of six structures that are independent, but interact with one another.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Production relations in the household:\u00a0<\/strong>Women\u2019s unpaid domestic labours, such as housework and child care, are expropriated by her husband (or cohabite).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Paid work:<\/strong>\u00a0Women in the labour market are excluded from certain types of work, receive lower pay, and are segregated in less skilled jobs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>The patriarchal state:<\/strong>\u00a0In its policies and priorities the state has a systematic bias towards patriarchal interests.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Male violence:\u00a0<\/strong>Although male violence is often seen as composed of individualistic acts, it is patterned and systematic. Women routinely experience this violence, and are affected by it in standard ways. The state effectively condones the violence with its refusal to intervene, except in exceptional cases.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Patriarchal relations in sexuality:<\/strong>\u00a0This is manifested in \u2018compulsory heterosexuality\u2019 and in the sexual double standard between men and women (in which different \u2018rules\u2019 for sexual behaviour apply).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Patriarchal cultural institutions:<\/strong>\u00a0A variety of institutions and practices- including media, religion and education \u2013 produce representations of women within a patriarchal gaze. These representations influence women\u2019s identities and prescribe acceptable standards of behaviour and action.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-theme-palette-2-color\">Walby distinguishes two distinct forms of patriarchy :<\/mark><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Private patriarchy\u00a0<\/strong>is domination of women which occurs within the household at the hands of an individual patriarch. It is an exclusionary strategy, because women are essentially prevented from taking part in public life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Public patriarchy<\/strong>, on the other hand, is more collective in form. Women are involved in public realms, such as politics and the labour market, but remain segregated from wealth, power and status.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Based on his Studies in Britain, Walby contents that at least in Britain, there has been a shift in patriarchy- both in degree and form \u2013 from the Victorian era to present day. She notes that the narrowing of the wage gap and the gains in women\u2019s education demonstrate a shift in the degree of patriarchy, but do not signal its defeat. If at one time women\u2019s oppression was found chiefly in the home, it is now located throughout society as a whole- women are now segregated and subordinated in all areas of the public realm. In other words, patriarchy has shifted in form from private to public. \u2026\u2026.<strong>.As Walby quotes: liberated from the home, women now have the whole of society in which to be exploited.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>The present status of women is chiefly the product of patriarchal social arrangements<\/strong>. Women offer spend most of their time in domestic work and in rearing children. Most women do not get an opportunity to develop their own personality. They are made to believe that the proper sphere of their activity is within- their household and that they need not take interest in public life. From the beginning girls are taught to pay more attention to personal relations, not to personal success. Boys are taught to be film, assertive and aggressive, girls are taught to be obedient, shy and submissive. Boys are encouraged to become nurses or secretaries. The experience gained by women in their own professional life does not allow them to take up a political career.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>When Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-97)<\/strong>\u00a0published her essay\u00a0<strong>\u2018Vindication of the Rights of Woman\u2019<\/strong>, woman was not only restrained from voting, but was deemed unfit for education, was debarred from many occupations, and had no legal right to own property. She had no real right to divorce even if her husband inferiority and demanded equal rights for women. She argued that women, like men, are rational individuals and should have equal right. She established the principles on which campaigns for women\u2019s right to education employment, property and the vote were later built up.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>John Stuart Mill (1806-73) i<\/strong>n the Subjection of Women sought to demonstrate that women were in no way inferior to men in their talents, and pleaded to give them full legal and political rights.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">In the contemporary world, further advancement in technology, diversification of business, industry,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">administration, arts and professions, etc. and the increasing demand of new skills, talents, and professional competence, have given women the opportunity of proving their abilities. They have also been encouraged to acquire higher qualifications and training and to seek respectable careers. It is now realized that women are fit to perform most of the jobs that men do, and for which they were not considered fit earlier. Equal rights for women are no larger questioned in enlightened circles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>The cultural valuation is the foundation for sexual division of labour.\u00a0<\/strong>That is then reinforced by gender ideologies of male superiority and a high degree of sexual antagonism between men and women.\u00a0<strong>Meigs (1990)\u00a0<\/strong>describes a\u00a0<strong>\u201cchauvinistic\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>ideology that is rooted in men\u2019s role as warriors.

They make significant contribution to the daily food supply and also control the distribution of the food they acquire, sharing them with their families and trading them in the broader community. This challenges the widely held notion that in foraging societies pregnancy and child care are incompatible with hunting.
