Gender division of labour: roles ascribed to men and women, girls and boys, and to transgender individuals, socially constructed, cultural, flexible, sexual division of labour: women"s triple roles: E. g. if a meeting is set for 8:30am, oftentimes women aren"t able to meet at that time due to their role as a mother. E. g. church role: *women disproportionately organized, daily clocks best way to find out what these roles entail. Western concept to understand what women and men do daily. Women allocate their responsibilities as seen through a circle chart with timings. *better way to do this (not western) is to use sunrise vs. sunset timeline b/c daily clocks don"t always look the same for diff. parts of world.
