Document Summary

The gendered family: history of canadian families. Gendered norms are ingrained through patriarchal ideology: gender division of labor in the home- housework + childcare. The next social issue us what"s referred to as teenage pregnancy. Fatherlessness- lots of criticism of single mothers, the reason why the children are fatherless is because of the prison system and racial profiling. The prison system in the us is the new form of black slavery and the destroyzation of the black families. Similarly the same situation for indigenous population and poor people in canada. You never see criticism for single fathers, people especially women rush to try and help them. Single women get criticized and single fathers get applauded. Divorce child custody and children- false statement is the divorce rate is higher then ever been before. Feminist argument is that divorce is a good thing help women leave unhappy, abusive marriages.
