Re: Toni the Superhero
The book is quite short approx 67 words, and it will take less than five mins to read. Funny enough there is no formal, strict divide in my culture either. However, there is that informal culture which encourages the girls to do the indoor household tasks and the boys to engage in the outdoor tasks of bin emptying and yard cleaning, etc.

In our culture such stereotypes are limited to some classes. But overall girls can qualify for all kind of jobs without gender segregation.Helen_Combe wrote: ↑01 Jul 2018, 05:31Then I’m charging you with the job of breaking that stereotypeBookmermaid wrote: ↑01 Jul 2018, 04:37 In my culture as well a female can get into any job for which she is qualified. However, many males still hold stereotypes of boy' s tasks as oppose to girls. Toni the Superhero doing those roles translates to Toni the sissy. Thanks for sharing.
The author does well by presenting Toni doing household chores and helping his mother.

I 100% agree with you . Girls and boys should be treated equally. But naturally some roles are designed for women and they can do it perfectly; and some roles are designed for men and they can can do it well. So it's a balance created by God. If both genders play their role properly there will be no grievances at all.

I agree with you, too! In our home we tend to take on traditional roles/chores, but I am delighted when my husband gives me a break by cooking or doing the dishes. In the same way, I choose to free him up by mowing the lawn sometimes, too. That was the thinking behind my statement that kids should learn all kinds of chores.Sarah Tariq wrote: ↑14 Jul 2018, 08:32I 100% agree with you . Girls and boys should be treated equally.

Am a little bit puzzled by the concept in this book. How can an imperfect child manifest some super powers or is this an illusion kind of story?! [*]My take[*]
