Blog post 6 – Convergences & Kindred

The gender that was discussed in the (Convergences) chapter 5 was how man and women differ in the same type of things. The illustration that was in this chapter was of a group of men and women hanging out playing on their phones. 

- The women's group were all playing on there phones and multiple conversations were going on while this was happening. which made it very difficult to know what they were say in the comic because all the word bubbles were over lapping each other. 

- In the men's group they were doing the exact same thing as the women's group. They were all just sitting around playing on their phones. The thing that was different was that the guys were barely saying anything while they were playing on their phones. The bubbles were not over lapping and this made it very easy to fallow what was going on. 

This image shows the same idea and differences between the two genders. 

So in (Kindred) the gender role is pretty much set in stone. Men do all the manual labor while the women do all the domestic work around the house. There are a few times when the women do go out to do manual labor with the men, but the men don't do any cooking or domestic work around the house. The roles are the same in marriage as well. The men go work while the women stay home and take care of the kids if they have any while cooking, cleaning, sewing and so on.
